I’m back for another round of Toddler Tuesday, a few weeks ago we tried out the pipe cleaners and colander technique. I had no doubt that BK would love this. You see, she’s meticulous and detail oriented, she likes to figure things out. This proved to be no different as she patiently tried to poke each one into the holes of the colander.
But the best part about this $1.92 pack of pipe cleaners? It didn’t stop with the colander we spent hours making things and twisting them. She called them flowers and candles and stuck them into the colander and sang Happy Birthday.
I loved this idea, it not only sharpens those very important fine motor skills but it also empowers imaginations.
What have you got to share?

This is such a fun activity! We tried it a few months ago, but W was not as patient as your little one. I love that she took the time to put all of them in!
(and her shirt is precious!)
I might have to give it another go and see if he’ll be more into it.

Me and KP did this a while back and she liked it for all of 2.5 seconds! That’s about how everything goes these days though…
