Sticky Cup Pom-pom Stuff
Purpose
This fun game helps toddlers focus on using their fingers one at a time. By pushing pom-poms into a sticky cup, they build strength in their tiny hand muscles. It also teaches them about sticky textures and how to use controlled movements.
Activity Steps
Steps:
- Turn a piece of masking tape into a loop with the sticky side facing out.
- Place the tape loop inside the bottom and sides of a paper cup.
- Give your toddler a bowl of fuzzy pom-poms to hold.
- Ask them to use their pointer finger to push a pom-pom into the cup.
- Encourage them to press it hard against the sticky tape.
- Once the cup is full, show them how to peel the pom-poms back out!
Safety Tip:
CHOKING HAZARD: Pom-poms and tape are small parts. Always supervise your toddler closely and ensure they do not put materials in their mouth.
