Toddler and Preschooler:
You need: Clothes Pins and a jar. I suggest a large empty pickle jar.
I remember playing this game at one of my birthday parties as a child!
Turn a chair around and have your preschooler kneel on it with arms over the back. Try to drop the clothes pin into the jar. Pick them up and do it again! Toddler, I would not suggest kneeling on a chair. Have them stand next to it and try to drop them in.
I attach all the clothes pins to their shirts and pants and they pull them off to drop them. Sometimes I just attach them all over their clothes and they pull them off, end of game! We also add the pins to the side of the jar and build a tower until it falls over.
Opening and closing clothes pins is a really good fine motor activity.
