Might have to try the cheerios on spaghetti in playdough this weekend though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fine-motor-activities-for-toddlers#post-2035554 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 12:47:32 +0000 aegie 2035554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>blocks, playdoh, puzzles, magnets, sticker backed gems she sticks onto foam sheets, painting, sorting exercises (I give her tricolor uncooked pasta and she sorts them by color into different jars), lacing boards, latch boards, and her favorite but my least favorite - kinetic sand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fine-motor-activities-for-toddlers#post-2035452 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 11:55:23 +0000 Mama Bird 2035452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lego and similar blocks. They're the only things that will keep him playing quietly for half an hour. Also playing with shells, seeds, and beads, but then I have to watch him like a hawk to make sure he doesn't eat one or toss them all under the furniture. The beads thing usually ends in drama when I get tired of watching and try to get him to move on to a different toy :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fine-motor-activities-for-toddlers#post-2034344 Wed, 21 Jan 2015 16:47:21 +0000 autumnlove 2034344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pipe cleaners through strainer holes. Stacking Cheerios on pieces of spaghetti in playdoh.

Using anything basically to try string cheerios. So fuzzy sticks or even shoelaces. </p> <p>Cutting paper is one we are starting to work on too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fine-motor-activities-for-toddlers#post-2034334 Wed, 21 Jan 2015 16:40:11 +0000 Bao 2034334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What are some fine motor activities that your toddler enjoys doing? My LO is almost 2.5 and wanted to find some things around the house I could use to make her a few activities to work on these skills. </p>
