Playing is fun and learning can be too!

String Grab! 6 months+

6 months+, Age 2+

Devyn loves pulling on strings. Whenever I have strings on my shirts she always wants to pull and chew on them. She loves playing with this simple string grab activity. All you need is some shoelaces and a coffee carrier. This is a fun way to work on critical thinking, problem solving and fine motors!

Materials:
5 Shoelaces
1 Coffee Carrier
Scissors

Here is a video of Devyn doing the activity!

Use the scissor to make little holes on the coffee carrier. Then pull the string through the hole and knot it on both sides.

Then hand the coffee carrier to your child and let them explore!
