It probably does not assuage your irritation to know that the 15 minutes your toddler spent in the act of emptying your wallet contents was good for their fine motor skills. You'd probably have preferred they'd practiced their fine motor skills with one of these clothespin activities.

However, I can offer you a solution.

A toy wallet.

If you don't already have an old wallet in the back of your closet, you can find very inexpensive wallets at the dollar store or thrift store.

Keep expired membership cards, discount cards, old coupons and similar items to stock the toy wallet.

You may also find kid oriented trading cards. Our toddler loves his Thomas the Train trading cards and they made a great addition to the toy wallet.

In order to pull the cards out of the toy wallet, your child will engage and strengthen those all important fine motor skills. Putting the cards back in the wallet will be more challenging, but toddlers are nothing if not persistent!

As your toddler starts to engage in imaginative play, they will start to use their toy wallet during pretend playtime, whether it's buying groceries at an imaginary store, or trying to bribe mom to let him skip the day's nap.

The most important thing is that the toy wallet keeps the little one entertained.

That and, I no longer wonder what happened to my driver's license.

Lots of parents want their kids to get a head start on their literacy and writing skills, but it's a mistake to force formal writing during the early years. However, you can encourage early and pre-writing skills by starting a journal with your preschooler.

All my life I have been a diarist but–surprise, surprise–since having kids, I have been unable to keep up with my journaling as I would like. I thought that introducing the concept of preschool journaling might be just the ticket to get me back in the game and have my son practice those all important fine motor skills necessary for future handwriting success.

I was delighted to discover a very easy way to start a journal with my preschooler! Now we could journal together. Win-win.

Preschool Journal Inspiration

The author of The Write Start: A Guide to Nurturing Writing at Every Stage, from Scribbling to Forming Letters and Writing Stories suggests using colors as a way to inspire a child to scribble in a journal.

The idea is that you ask your child, "What color was your day?" and then the child chooses a color. Using the writing/scribbling medium of choice, he uses the color to write/scribble on the journal page.

As they write/scribble, ask your child to describe to you why the day was blue (for example). In this manner, the child is learning how to narrate their own story, develop self-reflection, and give voice to their thoughts and emotions.

You can even record your child's thoughts, either by jotting them down in your own journal, or with an audio recording. (A video recording will be too distracting for most children.) If your write your child's thoughts, I suggest doing so on a separate paper so your child's scribbles and drawing stands on their own.

A great children's picture book to help explain this concept is Dr. Seuss' My Many Colored Days. The book compares moods and days to different colors and actions of animals. For example, "Then comes a Yellow Day and I am a busy, buzzy bee." Or, "On Purple Days I'm sad, I groan, I drag my tail."

A preschooler can not only use color to represent mood, they can use action words like "buzzy" or "drag" to inspire how they move their pen or crayon. Fast for "buzzy," or slow for "drag," or hopping around the page for "happy." You get the idea.

The important thing is to let the child choose and be inspired. Don't suggest or force the issue. And if your child doesn't feel like talking one day, let them scribble however they want.

Make the Journal Part of a Routine

The key to success is to journal with your preschooler as part of a predictable routine. Whether you choose to do it in the morning, or after lunch or in the evening is up to you. Pick a convenient time to journal–or to scribble–that you know you can stick with.  If you miss a day or two, don't beat yourself up. Just get back to it. Pretty soon you might find your child is reminding you, "It's journaling time, mommy!"

We tend to have quite moments in the late morning so that is when the two of us get out our journals. So far it has been working!

Use A Variety of Writing Materials

Don't pressure your child to move beyond scribbling. Scribbling is also very important for developing pre-writing and pre-reading skills.

Using different types of writing implements and materials increases the variety of sensory experiences, so I like to mix things up during our journaling sessions. I include:

• Stubby crayons with the paper removed. Using a short crayon requires a stronger pincer grasp than using a long one.
• Colored pencils. They require more pressure than markers.
• Markers. Ink provides a satisfying saturated color, but mix up the size: include both fat and skinny pens.
• Oil and chalk pastels with paper removed. Pastels' textures offer a new sensory experience.
• Stickers. Peeling stickers off the backing takes work and feeling the sticky side adds in a bit of sensory fun. Tape is also a great tool. Check out this tape art journal page my son made.
• Writing tools with triangular barrels. The unusual shape encourages children to use the correct pincer grasp.

Name Your Journals

Have your preschooler pick a name for their journal. Call it a "Thoughts Book," or a "Mood Book," or some other fun title. For now, we call ours the "Writing Book." I explained to my son that I use my journal to record my activities and thoughts about each day but that he can write or draw whatever he wants. I'm always sure to write the date on each page so we can track his progress.

My son, of course, always finishes his journal plage before I do, but I do get a few extra minutes of writing in and it feels good.

I HIGHLY recommend this fantastic book for playful ideas to get your kids to love writing:

I left a box of 1000 craft sticks on the table.

The end.

Well, not exactly the end.

You see, my son took this box of 1000 craft sticks. Opened it. Dumped out about 200 of them and started playing.

Playing with sticks turned into a great idea for a rainy day, and it required no intervention on my part. This is the best kind of screen-free indoor activity!

These little wooden sticks kept my child busy for quite some time. It may seem a little unusual, but hey!, whatever works, right?

Instructions

Wait. Watch. Enjoy your coffee. Your child will figure it out.

Tips

There's nothing wrong by allowing your child independent play time. If they want you to, you can also get down on the floor and play with your child. Kids love it when you come down to their level.

Here are some ideas for how to use some of those 1000 craft sticks. You can:

• build with them
• use them to form letters and numbers
• use them to make stick puppets
• make a tic-tac-toe board
• pile them onto toy trucks and drive them around the room
• create a road by lining them up side by side and driving cars through them
• make an incredibly long line with them
• measure stuff, "How many craft sticks tall is my mom?"

I think my son's favorite method of play was forming letters and trying to spell words! If you recall, he loves to spontaneous spell words with his letter cards.

Washing

We brought the acorns home and of course the first thing we had to do was wash them, which was also a fun sensory experience. They were collected from an urban sidewalk after all and we have all kinds of nature in the city.

Washing them proved to be very entertaining for my son and he spent lots of time swishing them around in a small tub of water, spooning them out and making up stories about tugboats.

I'm not surprised washing acorns was so much fun, given the timeless popularity of a simple bubble car wash activity.

Sorting

I got out the ice cube tray. The small sections were great for sorting acorns. Sometimes he used a spoon to place them in the cube sections, other times he used his pincer grasp and picked them up.

He thought it was fun to see how many he could fit in each section before they started spilling out. Try using acorns in one of our many ideas for sorting activities.

Dropping

Since acorns are small, they fit through a variety of openings. First he tried dropping them down a cardboard roll.

He giggled as he aimed them into the cups of a muffin tin. We used muffin tins for fine motor practice with pom poms, too.

Next he poked the acorns through holes cut into the top of a yogurt container (you may recognize that container from the ever popular "playing the slots" activity we've done in the past).

Playing

All that directed fine motor activity was well and good, but I think his favorite way to play was using his toy trucks and trains to run an acorn delivery service for the neighborhood squirrels. Fine motor practice and imaginative play, what could be more wonderful?

We'll have to add "acorn delivery service" to the list of 20 ways to play with toy cars.

Acorns. Who knew they could be so enthralling?

By the way, acorns aren't the only excellent fine motor manipulative from nature. Try making pomanders with kids for fine motor practice. It smells good, too!

In addition, if your kids start throwing pom poms arounds (as they inevitably will), you don't have to worry about them breaking anything or hurting your feet when you step on them barefoot!

(Note: this post contains affiliate links that earn commission from qualifying purchases.)

We have a gigantic one pound bag of pom poms but even a smaller bag of pom poms like this one will get you started.  

This week my youngest son was playing with the pom poms again so I thought in addition to showing you his most recent pom pom play I'd do a round up of other ideas he's come up with.

1. He likes to sort pom poms by size in nice straight lines.

2. He also likes to pick pom poms up with chopsticks. This is one of the best activities for developing fine motor skills. These kid chopsticks are awesome for all sorts of fine motor activities.

3. Pom poms make a nice substitute for ping pong balls when using a catapult indoors, because they won't break anything when launched! If you don't have a diy catapult, your kids are in for a treat. Read our instructions for making a homemade catapult and how to use it for target practice.

4. Work those tiny finger muscles by pushing pom poms through slots in a container lid. This is one of my absolute favorite activities to bring out on the spur of the moment. It is sort of amazing how much the kids like to do this again and again. It's one of the best busy toddler activities ever.

5. Make art by shaking poms and paint in a container. Use the art later for lovely gift cards or frame it as unique art work.

6.  Save your egg cartons for counting practice. Even if your child is not ready to count, placing a pom pom in each section of the egg carton involves one to one correspondence, which is a very important early math skill.

7. Use the same egg carton for color sorting. Young children love sorting activities, another great way to help them develop pre-math skills.

8. Stick them on collages.

9. Stick them on toothpicks. A lollipop forest, maybe? Note: use caution with toothpicks, which are sharp. Alternatively, use straws. Balancing the pom poms on top of the straws is good for hand-eye coordination skills.

MORE: Reuse those toothpicks in this toothpick and colander fine motor activity

10. And finally, a little free play with egg cartons and cylindrical containers! This is also an excellent distraction for toddlers!

This list of clothespin activities contains a wide variety of ideas for all skill levels, from simple toddler clothespin activities to clothespin engineering challenges for preschoolers and older kids! We start off with a very easy, no prep clothespin activity and move on from there.

Simple Clothespin Activity

Sometimes simple is best, especially when it comes to busy parents. Even if your child doesn't require occupational therapy, practicing lateral pinch, developing hand-eye coordination and building motor planning skills are inherently beneficial, especially if they would rather use their fingers to swipe on a screen!

What you need:

Instructions

30 More Clothespin Activities

You'll be surprised at how entertaining just a simple clothespin transfer activity can be, but if you want to jazz things up, there are plenty of ways to do so. Choose one or more of the following ideas.

Hang up the alphabet

Use clothespins to hang up paper letters on a clothesline. This is a great literacy activity to help with learning the ABCs.

Clothespin alphabet match

First, write a lowercase letter of the alphabet on each clothespin. Using the same uppercase letter cards from the above clothesline activity, clip the corresponding pin to letter card. See how this works at I Can Teach My Child.

Clothespin count

Gather together plastic cups or containers (yogurt containers are perfect). Write a number on each container. The child then clips the correct quantity of clothespins to that container. So if the container reads, "5," the child will clip 5 clothespins to it. Learn more at Mess for Less.

Clip line

Clip all the clothespins end to end. Your child will love seeing how long a line they can make!

Clip shapes

Clip the clothespins to each other in the shape of squares, triangles, trapezoids. The possiblities and sizes of the shapes are nearly endless!

Clothespin color match

You'll need to use a package of colored clothespins, or use a marker to color directly on the clothespins. On a paper plate, color in 6 wedges that correspond to the color of the clothespins. The child then clips the clothespin to the matching wedge of color on the plate.

Clothespin animals

Clothespin as a pick up tool

Lots of fine motor skills activities suggest using a pair of tongs or chopsticks to pick up items (like we did with pom poms). Use the clothespins as a pick up tool instead!

Clothespin transfer and sorting activity

Container clip bonanza

No need to get fancy, bring out a large bucket with a thin rim, or a bunch of plastic containers and a bowl full of clothespins. Then, one by one, clip the clothespins to the edge!

Hang clothes!

It seems so obvious, right? You could do this outside or inside. Stretch a long string or line from two sturdy objects. Inside use chairs, outside use trees. Then show your child how to hang up clothes. Beginners can hang up socks and washcloths.

Clip a dot

This is a good idea to work on hand-eye coordination and precision. Take a paper plate, or a piece of cardboard. Draw a series of large dots with a marker all around the edge. The child then aims to clip each clothespin directly onto the dot.

Toddler clothespin drop

Use clothespins instead of craft sticks to drop into the magic disappearing container every toddler loves so much! You'll need to cut the opening up a little bigger than for the craft sticks, but it will definitely work!

Seasonal clothespin decoration

Stir the Wonder has a great idea that gets kids helping to decorate for the season. Affix a paper leaf to each clothespin. Make a tree made from sturdy card stock or cardboard. Then, clip the leaf clothespins to the tree branches. You can do this for each season. In fall use orange, yellow, red and brown leaves. In winter, remove the leaves. In spring add clothespins with blossoms and in summer add green leaves.

Clothespin spelling

This is a fun idea for older kids who need to work on their fine motor development. Write letters on the clothespins. For double-duty, put different letters on each side. Then clip the clothespins onto a paper plate or piece of cardboard to spell words.

Dot painters

Clip clothespins onto pompoms, a cotton ball or a piece of sponge. Holding on to clothespin, dip the pom pom (or other material) into paint and press onto paper. Repeat as many times as desired! Try using the dot painters to create symmetry art. Babble Dabble Do has some great suggestions for different materials to add to your clothespin paint "brushes."

Grid clip

Save those plastic berry baskets or use a wire basket or wire drying rack (the kind for cooling baked goods). Clip the clothespins to the grid.

Clothespin dice game

Reinforce counting skills while also working on the pincer grasp with this clever game from the Activity Mom.

Clothespin puppets

This is a fun crafty activity. Moms and Crafters shows you how to make a simple clothespin puppet. She has a free template, but you could easily make them without it.

Clothespin number line game

At Fun Learning for Kids, they used clothespins on a number line to keep score during a dice game. Make a number line out of card stock, then as you roll the dice, each player moves their clothespin down the line according to their score.

Clip onto a pipe cleaner

Clip clothespins onto a pipe cleaner. The bendy nature of the pipe cleaner makes for a different experience than sturdy, stiff cardboard. Kids may also enjoy forming the pipe cleaners into shapes before they start clipping!

Clip onto towels

Hang a towel onto a clothesline or towel bar. Clip the clothespins on the the edge of the towel bottom and along the sides. This is a good activity because kids may need to use their other hand to steady the towel. Or, if you challenge them to do it with one hand behind their back, they give their hand-eye coordination skills and extra workout.

Clothespin card game

Use clothespins as playing card holders when playing card games. Therapy Fun Zone shows you how to play Clothespin UNO.

Scavenger hunt

Hide clothespins around the room. As kids find them, they clip them onto a card or string.

Shape matching

This one requires a bit more preparation that most of the clothespin activities on this list. Essentially you put a different shape on each clothespin. You could use shape stickers or just draw the shape on the wooden clothespin with markers. Then cut up construction paper into large shapes. Kid attach the corresponding shape-marked clothespin to the paper shape. Read detailed instructions at Toddler Approved.

Clothespin drop and dump

This is a great clothespin activity for toddlers. Find a bottle with a large mouth. A glass milk bottle works well. Your toddler will love dropping the clothespins in the bottle one by one, then turning the bottle upside-down and shaking them all out! I love how simple ideas are the best for toddlers!

Build with clothespins

Building with clothespins is a good STEM activity for older kids. Provide a bowl of clothespins and a bowl of wooden craft sticks. Give your kids the engineering challenge of building a structure with just these two items. Frugal Fun for Boys and Girls has some great examples.

Clothespin animal legs craft

Another way to use clothespins in a craft for kids is to turn them into legs. Kids can use their fine motor and cutting skills to cut out animal shapes with no legs from sturdy colored paper (like card stock). Next, color them, draw faces, etc. Finally, clip the clothespins to the bottom of the animal where the legs would be and stand them up! This is a great activity, using several fine motor skills, that also promotes pretend play.

Clothespin lacing

Have you ever noticed how a closed clothespin (Hey! That makes a good tongue twister!) has a hole in it? Take advantage of the hole in clothespins to turn them into a lacing activity. The child can thread as the clothespins onto a string.

The post 31 Clothespin Activities for Toddlers and Preschoolers appeared first on What Do We Do All Day.

Stacking activities are good for fine motor development, hand-eye coordination, reasoning skills, learning the concepts of balance and strength, and problem solving. Not only that, but toddlers and preschoolers are learning one to one correspondence, an early math skill. Whew! That's a lot of essential growth and development right there!

Best of all, setting up stacking activities for kids at home is so easy and they can keep kids entertained without screens while you get a chance to drink that second cup of coffee you so desperately need!

You don't need any special materials, or to go out at buy fancy stacking toys. Giving your children different types of objects to stack is better than using the same stacking toy over and over again because it gives them the opportunity to explore how different materials behave and get creative in their stacking techniques.

We discovered the joy of stacking objects when I pulled out a vintage box of sandbakkelse molds. My toddler loved the small size of them and how they fit neatly into each other and then into their little box.

Blocks (this seems obvious, but sometimes we forget the simple things)

Paper cups -- will they stack them in a single stack or in a pyramid shape?

Sofa cushions -- this is great because it also uses gross motor skills

Marshmallows

Dice (only for children who don't put objects in their mouth)

Cheerios or similar cereal

Dominoes - this is fun because they can try to stack end to end or large, flat side to large, flat side

Spools -- such as spools of thread

Lids and caps (small lids are only for children who don't put objects in their mouth)

Plastic storage containers -- there is an extra layer of problem solving here if the containers are of different sizes. They will also notice how smaller containers nest inside larger ones.

Rocks -- great for outdoors

Checkers (this is a great way to repurpose those game pieces!)

Boxes -- all sizes!

Books - board books work particularly well.

Coins or buttons (only for children who don't put objects in their mouth)

Get ready because the absolute best part of stacking is knocking it all down with a big crash!

MORE: Fine motor play with acorns

• Use tongs or chopsticks to pick up items to be stacked.

• Use only one hand to stack objects.

• Stack items from different categories. For example, mix blocks and paper cups in a single stack.

• Thread stacking items that have a hole in the middle onto a stick. For example, stack spools onto a chopstick. This is similar to a lacing activity.

MORE: Lacing activities for toddlers and preschoolers

How to Talk to Your Child While Stacking

You don't need to get down on the floor and help your child unless you want to. But making observations to your toddler or preschool about what they are doing is a great way to boost their brains. Fortunately, you can do this from the couch, with coffee in hand.

Now, get stacking!

The post Creative Stacking Activities for Toddlers and Preschoolers appeared first on What Do We Do All Day.

Lacing activities help develop fine motor skills like the tripod grasp, pincer grasp and finger dexterity, which are necessary for handwriting and actions like doing up buttons and tying shoes. Like stacking activities, they also improve motor planning, bilateral coordination skills, and visual perception abilities.

In addition, working with lacing cards, tying laces and other types of actions improve concentration skills and develop patience, which all parents will appreciate!

DIY Lacing Activities

You may be surprised at all the ways you can to put together some lacing or threading activities for your child!

Threading materials you may have at home:

• shoe laces
• ribbons
• yarn
• string or twine
• pipe cleaners
• cording
• chopsticks or wooden dowels

Objects that can be threaded:

• cut up paper rolls (see our paper roll lacing idea!)
• cut up sections of pool noodles
• straws, or cut pieces of straws, either paper or plastic
• large beads
• large buttons
• hollow pasta like ziti noodles
• washers (hardware)

As you can see, lacing activities can be beneficial without being fancy. Provide some of the items in the lists above to your toddler or preschooler and demonstrate how lacing works.

Provide interesting and different combinations. Some ideas include threading pipe cleaners through paper holes, toothpicks through colander holes, pasta on chopsticks, washers onto bolts, beads on a string.

You might offer items in a designated basket during free play time, or give the materials to your child when they are sitting at the table. You could even make it a parent-child activity by stringing beads together. One afternoon, my son and I make this prism mobile which required stringing beads and crystal prisms on colored thread!

DIY Lacing Cards

Lacing cards are often part of a Montessori or preschool curriculum. You can buy lacing cards, but they are not hard to make at home, especially as you likely have everything you already need!

The lacing card has two parts. First, you'll need a base that has holes punched in it. Second, you'll need the laces.

Materials for DIY Lacing Cards

For the base you can use:

• cardboard. Thin board like that from a cereal box will be easier to punch holes into.
• foam sheets
• card stock or paper. Although you can get away with using regular paper in a pinch, the heavy weight of card stock is better.
• paper plates, or plastic plates
• thin mat board
• plastic berry basket

Other materials:

• hole punch
• scissors (optional)
• masking tape (optional)
• cookie cutters (optional)

How to Make Lacing Cards

You can make a basic lacing card simply by using the hole punch to places holes on the edge of your sturdy base material.

To make the lacing material easier to thread, wrap the end in a piece of masking tape.

Be sure your lace is long enough to go in and out of every hole, with extra, so that your child can thread the lace across the card in a variety of ways before running out of length.

Lacing card variations:

For lacing shapes, cut cards into circles, squares, triangles, etc.

You can create alphabet lacing cards by cutting cards in the shape of letters, although this is a more involved project and you may find that if you really want alphabet lacing cards, it may be worthwhile to purchase alphabet lacers like these.

MORE: Alphabet clothespin activity for fine motor skills

If desired, use cookie cutters to trace shapes onto your base material, and cut out. This way you can easily make fancy shapes if you have cookie cutters in the shape of items like dinosaurs, flowers, butterflies, gingerbread people, etc.

Printable lacing cards

Some educational sites offer free, printable lacing cards that you can laminate or glue to cardboard if you don't want to make your own.

Lacing Sculpture

This lacing sculpture art project is a great way to add 3-dimensional interest and creativity to a child's fine motor work.

Punch holes in a piece of cardboard (such as cut up cereal boxes). Give the child pipe cleaners, ribbons, beads to use for threading. While threading the pipe cleaners or laces through the holes, they can add in beads or other objects (like washers or nuts from the hardware store, or pasta with holes) to their laces.

The resulting artwork will be a fine motor work masterpiece!

MORE: String art and craft activity (builds fine motor skills)

Shoe Lacing Activity

Learning how to tie shoes laces is a right of passage for every child, but it takes a lot of fine motor skills to get there! You can certainly purchase special tools to help kids practice tying their shoes like an interactive How to Tie Your Shoes book or a wood lacing sneaker, but there is nothing like the real thing!

To encourage kids to practice tying their shoe laces try a rhyme or poem like these two bunny ears shoe tying rhymes.

MORE: Develop fine motor skills with clothespin activities

More Lacing Ideas

Lacing busy bag. Lacing is a great activity for busy bag. Place lacing cards, or materials in bag to take along next time you know your child will need a boredom buster. Even just a long string and a handful of beads can keep your child busy for longer than you think!

DIY jewelry. Kids can string beads onto pipe cleaners and then twist into a loop to make a bracelet.

MORE: LEGO head rescue to build finger and hand strength

Needlework. Older kids can get crafty! Needlework kits designed especially for kids, or for a more relaxed approach, plain plastic canvas with some yarn will allow kids to come up with their own designs.

We like to call this craft project "string theory" because we like word play and are very silly people. It's an excellent at-home indoor activity, or a classroom story time activity that pairs well with the book, Extra Yarn by Mac Barnett or What to Do with a String by Jane Yolen!

What you need

White school glue

String or yarn. This project is a great way to up-cycle string, yarn, ribbon, gift wrap ribbons or twine. When you start collecting bits that find their way into your home, you'll be surprised at how quickly you amass enough for this project!

Scissors, child-friendly scissors are a must!

Construction paper, any color

There is no right or wrong way to glue down the lengths of yarn. Your child can then squirt out glue in lines, swirls, shapes or blobs directly onto the construction paper. However, some children might enjoy the challenge of trying to apply the glue onto the string!

During this craft project, your child will be working on his pincer grasp, and fine motor muscle strength and control. These are important skills to develop for proper handwriting and other practical tasks.

Depending on the child's interest, they may attempt to arrange the string into pictures of recognizable objects. Others may simply make designs. As this is a process art project and since the focus is on developing fine motor skills, either artistic choice is a valid one!
