Straw Counting Games

This simple activity will keep your toddler occupied. When sit down and play it with your little one, you can also count each straw that was put in the bottle, reinforcing the aspect of counting skills.

Materials:
Scissors, color straws, empty 250 ml mineral water bottle

Methods:

Cut up some straws into small pieces. The size of the pieces of straw depends on the age of your child so as not to cause a choking hazard. Take the lid off the top of the bottle and show the little one how she can put each straw piece into the hole. Have her count each piece as she drops it in. We can gradually increase the challenge by poking a small hole in the lid just large enough to fit the straw pieces through and put the lid back on the bottle.

Learning Points:
The game provide good opportunity for children to practice focusing their attention on task and completing it and they also help in their eye-hand coordination and counting skills.

Have fun with your toddler!
