The Noodle Button Tunnel
Purpose
This activity focuses on using both hands together. It challenges your child to coordinate their movements to get a button through a long tunnel. It also helps with focus and motor planning.
Activity Steps
Steps:
- Cut a piece of yarn about three feet long using your scissors.
- Tie one end of the yarn to a sturdy chair leg.
- Thread the other end through the center of a pool noodle.
- Place your buttons in the aluminium foil pan at the start.
- Hold the loose end of the yarn tight so it stays straight.
- Ask your child to slide a button onto the yarn.
- They must push it all the way through the pool noodle tunnel.
- Have them drop the buttons into different baking cups at the finish line!
Safety Tip:
Adult supervision is required. Small buttons are a choking hazard. Keep all small materials away from children who still place objects in their mouths.
