So, I got a little too excited and instead of waiting a couple days (I had planned on having her pick an activity on sunday, using it as incentive during the week, and completing the activity on Friday or saturday) I made my husband go out and pick up the items today. It was super simple and she loved them. Plus, she can learn fine motor skills, shapes, counting, colors, and the velcro adds a little sensory play.
Items you will need:
Popsicle sticks- you can color them on your own with 20 drops food coloring and 1 cup hot water. Let them soak for at least an hour. I just bought them already colored because it was thirty cents more.
Velcro rounds
Take the popsicle sticks and place one velcro round on each end. You can put a scratchy one and a soft one, two soft ones, or two scratchy ones. I mixed it up so she can learn how velcro works.
Lastly, I got a pencil pouch. Really, any small container will work for taking them on the go (amazing quiet activity for waiting rooms), but I like the pencil pouch that fits in the binder best. Soon, we will be taking a lot of 2-3 hour car rides to visit family. So, she can pick a few pencil pouches for her travel binder and they will be nice and organized in the car. Simple and amazing.
