Popcorn Game For Toddlers
I’ve been on a roll lately with sharing Busy Bag & Sensory Bin Ideas on Glued To My Crafts and today is all about a “fun” activity for the little ones in your life. We are talking CENTS to recreate and play!
This toddler friendly Pick Up The Popcorn – Fine Motor Game is super simple for moms to pull together with ease, while the supplies are inexpensive too.
To play, just sprinkle a handful of cotton ball “popcorn” all over your living room and have your child “pick up” the pieces with their tongs and place in their popcorn bag. To change it up, throw in some counting and you have an educational spin on this idea!
I picked up all our game supplies at my local Dollar Tree but you probably have all {or almost all} of these items already hiding in your house {making it easy to pull together NOW!}
Best part? Once done playing the game, simply gather everything and reuse the supplies for other kid friendly crafts 😉
Ready to make it for your toddler today? Find all the details below for our Pick Up The Popcorn game idea! Have a great day, my friends!
