Materials
Pipe cleaners – we used black and white
Cardboard box – any size is fine (a big one allows the child to sit inside and work!)
Pointed scissors or ice pick
Directions
Using a sharp pair of scissors or an ice pick, poke several holes into the sides of the box. Once the adult has finished poking holes into the box, invite your child to take pipe cleaners and poke them through the holes. Encourage your child to bend and curl the pipe cleaners to make interesting designs.
This is a wonderful fine motor activity, which takes focus and good eye/finger coordination. Have fun!
