Fine Motor Activity Fruit Loop Towers
Materials
- Plastic cups small (like fruit cups or applesauce cups)
- Play dough
- Linguine spaghetti works too
- Fruit Loops or any round cereal with a hole in the center
Instructions
- Give each child a ball of play dough and place it in a small cup.
- Stick a piece of uncooked linguine upright into the center of the play dough to create the “tower.”
- Fill another cup with Fruit Loops (or any cereal with a hole in the center).
- Have your child carefully thread each loop onto the linguine.
- Celebrate their rainbow tower! Kids love seeing their progress as the colors stack up.
- When they’re done building, let them munch on the cereal.
Notes
- Snap the pasta in half if your kids are little - shorter pieces are easier to handle and less likely to snap mid-stack.
- Want to add a little learning? Have them sort the Fruit Loops by color first.
- As they build, get them talking - count the loops, call out colors, or try simple patterns for extra fun.
