Materials
Ball of playdough (we used brown chocolate scented playdough for Brown Week)
Long pieces of uncooked spaghetti
Cheerios

Place balls of playdough on a hard surface. Provide uncooked spaghetti and Cheerios. Invite your child to explore with the materials, placing the spaghetti into the playdough and threading Cheerios onto it.
This is a great activity for practicing eye/hand coordination and strengthening the pincer grasp, which is a fine motor skill needed for writing.
