We still have lots of pool noodles (or poodle noodles as my kids call them - ha!) kicking around from our trampoline hack so we put them to good use for this simple fine motor activity. It would also make a great busy bag idea to use in the car or while waiting for appointments. So go grab some pool noodles!
For this fine motor busy bag, we used:
- Pool noodles, cut up into chunks
The longer pool noodles, however, were perfect for my three year old. He quickly figured out a strategy to keep the pool noodle steady. He simply held one end between his legs and feet while he added the rubber bands.
