Pipe Cleaner Colander
➡️ This activity is an ideal challenge for the child who is able to grasp objects with their whole hand or with thumb and index finger, but isn’t quite ready for more refined fine motor activities such as lacing beads on a string. As with many activities, taking the pipe cleaners out is easier than putting them back in, so it provides a natural grading of challenge for kids at a variety of skill levels.
➡️ Putting the pipe cleaners in encourages precise hand movements and higher level hand-eye coordination than lower level play skills such as stacking two blocks or placing pegs in a board.
➡️ Encourage your child to hold the pipe cleaner with their fingers pointing toward the tip, as opposed to grasping with their fist and turning their arm in so the thumb-side of their hand is facing down.
