This was a super simple activity. Straws and empty bottles (shorter than the straws) are all you need. Alyssa was totally won over and put the straws in and out over and over, occasionally trying the drink out of one. Abby was always trying to drink out of the straws. In fact, it was all she did. Well, a little shake here and there sending her straws everywhere. But she had fun for a few minutes, then went and found the basketball. Alyssa lasted a lot longer.
Quick thoughts:
- I guess I did a good job teaching them what a straw is. They just wanted to drink at first. I had to show them how to put them back in. It didn't take long for Alyssa to figure it out.
- I think it was a great exercise for fine motor and hand-eye coordination.
We will definitely be doing this again and again.
