AN EASY ACTIVITY FOR KIDS

Here is another kids activity that does not require any materials that is unlikely to be around the house. All you need is a bunch of pegs (excuse the way my old set of pegs in the picture looks) and a plastic laundry basket. If you don't have a basket that has small bars where the pegs can be attached, you can use other options such as metal drawers (like the ones IKEA sells) or make a few lines with a rope in between two things (such as chairs-just make sure they are safe enough for your child) and use the ropes instead.

 

This activity is great because it keeps toddlers and preschoolers (and even young school aged kids) busy for a while and they can practise their fine motor skills as well as coordination skills while having fun. You can even encourage them to (or they may even choose to) color coordinate the pegs or come with a particular shape or design of their own which would mean even more skills. 

Enjoy a simple yet fulfilling day today!
