I am always looking for fun activities that will entertain the girls and best case scenario teach them something at the same time. A few weeks ago a friend posted a picture of her daughter sitting on the kitchen floor with a few pipe cleaners and a strainer and I thought it was such a great idea! Today I tried it with McKenzie and it was a hit! It took her a few tries to get it but than it was smooth sailing. After she mastered getting them in I showed her how to bed the other side in.
This was the perfect activity for McKenzie while I was cooking dinner. I gave her 5 pipe cleaners and she would put them in. Clap for herself. Take them all out. Then do it all over again!
A few pipe cleaners and a bowl of some Rainbow pasta entertained Corinne. We turned them into necklaces for everyone when she was done!
What about you? What are your go to activities for you kids?
Mine are happy with coloured pencils and paper
I keep a box of crayons in my purse for restaurants.
Yeah… I might start bringing pipe cleaners along too.
Cute idea – would have never thought of that! Mine enjoy sorting things (buttons, jewels, beads, etc.), playdough, lacing, and magnet activities.
Great idea! I’m going to try this right now lol I am always looking for fun, creative things to do with my boy.
Showing some love from the Mixer! xoxo

Great idea! I reckon that would keep my son busy for a decent amount of time. At the moment, so long as he has a matchbox car or crayon he’s pretty happy though!
