This was such a simple fine motor sorting activity for my toddler.
Get a few different colors of play dough, some toothpicks, and beads and you're ready go!
Place a toothpick (or 2) on each color, and give your child a bowl of beads with colors that match the play dough. Have them put the colored beads on the correct toothpick!
For my son (5), I also gave him some balls of play dough with toothpicks in them. I encouraged him to create his own patterns and he loved it! After he did AB patterns on his own, I encouraged him to try harder ones (ABC, ABB, etc.)
This activity kept both my kids engaged and entertained for about 20 minutes.
Why?
fine motor practice
sorting
