Popsicle Stick Wall Hangings

Handmade gifts are very special, aren’t they? The best part I love is fostering creativity while crafting with the kids. They choose the colors, patterns for their own crafts. I should admit that I also enjoy crafting a lot, especially when the final product becomes a beautiful decoration in our home.

Paper Roll Beads

Small beads are very dangerous for under 2 year old kids, but these paper roll beads are not. If you want to prepare a fine motor activity for your 2 years old, this is great idea then. It is not only stringing but also sorting activity. Just cut the paper rolls into 3 pieces and use washi tapes to diversify them.

If your little one is ready to stand up, then it’s time for this activity. It is a great activity to prolong the standing time of the little ones. If your little one is not ready for this, then you can prepare the same activity on the floor, too. My son was 18 month old when we had this activity.

We piled the stones on top of each other, then we tried to knock down the stones we had arranged with another stone.
We spent energy, strengthened our gross and fine motor skills, set targets, got plenty of oxygen … I can count more skills. It was a completely natural and spontaneous event for us.
