Toddlers

This is an easy, safe-to-taste activity. With just a few household items, pudding, a plastic bin, and of course, washable farm animal toys. Mix up the pudding, put it in the bin and let your kids have at it. You can even add shredded wheat cereal for "hay bales".

Help your toddler develop their fine motor skills by using spaghetti and a colander. Cook your spaghetti and load up the colander (upside down). There are directions for coloring the pasta if you are up for that. Little hands will have such a good time pulling these "strings".

Another activity with spaghetti will also help those fine motor skills. This time you don't even have to cook it. Just plop some playdough down, put a spaghetti stick in upright and use some round cereal with holes your kiddo can do serious stacking.
