Learning Station - Holey Pom Poms & Block Drop - Toddlers

The kiddos really enjoyed these today.  I left them up all of class time.  Both activities are great for fine motor, hand-eye coordination and color practice.

The Holey Pom Pom activity was pushing pom poms through holes in a yogurt container. 

 The Block Drop was dropping blocks through a paper towel roll tube. 

Pop the pom poms!

We found ourselves an accidental game today that I'm sure is going to be a favorite.  We were counting pom poms into bowls.  Well, when the bowls were full one of us popped the bowl up and the pom poms rained down on us.  It was great!  (Confession:  It was I.  I popped the bowl.  It must have been my inner child)  And thus the game of "Pop the pom poms" was invented!  We played over and over and over and ....  we enjoyed it immensley!

One of the kiddos hurriedly stuffing the pom poms back in the bowl so we can pop them again!
