Devyn really enjoyed playing with these materials! She was just as determined to get them in as she was to get them out! This activity was helping her fine motors, problem solving skills and critical thinking.

Materials:
Cotton Swabs
Egg Carton
Scissor

Just cut a hole on the bottom of each egg holder. Then give your child some cotton swabs and let them explore!
