This activity is great for sensory and fine motors.
Materials (affiliate link):
Pom Poms
Pool Noodles
Scissors
Jumbo Tweezers
First cut your pool noodle into pieces. Then mix in some jumbo tweezers and pom poms. I like to use different size pom poms so we can talk about size while we play.
Challenge the kids to put the pom poms on the pool noodles using the tweezers!
This activity is great for sensory play and strengthening fine motor muscles. You can also have some great math talks: colors, size, patterns, counting.
