Pom-pom Straw Pull Activity

Do you want an easy, low prep activity that will keep your little ones busy? Try this Pom-pom Straw Pull Activity!

All you need is some pom-poms, rubberbands, straw and a bowl, that’s it! A couple of minutes for prep and you’ve got a quick, fun activity  that will keep kids busy and content for a long time!

I’ve prepped this activity to keep my little ones happy and doing something productive so I could get some cooking done. And it worked! They had lots of fun trying to get all of the pom-poms out using only the straw, no hands, no cheating! It was a big hit and I was happy they were exercising their breathing and learning to hold their breath.

MATERIALS for Pom-pom straw pull:

  • Pom-poms
  • Rubber bands
  • Straw (I’ve linked our metal ones)
  • Bowl

 

Instructions for Pom-pom straw pull:

  • Wrap as many rubber bands as you need around the bowl to create small holes in between.
  • Place pom-poms inside the bowl. Prep the straw.

*MAKE SURE THE CHILD IS SEATED AND SUPERVISED WHEN DOING THIS ACTIVITY*

Rules- The child has to use the straw to “suck” the pom-poms out of the bowl one by one.

TIP- You can make the activity as easy or as difficult as you want by choosing the amount of rubber bands. The more, the smaller the holes, the harder it is!

What is my child learning and improving?

  • Creativity (didn’t think you could use pom-poms for a fun activity like this, did you? Let’s get creative!)
  • Fine motor (holding the straw)
  • Hand-eye coordination (choosing and aligning the straw to the pom-poms)
  • Holding their breath (the child has to learn to hold their breath to “suck” the pom-poms using the straw)

Simple sensory play idea for today using beet-dyed Simple sensory play idea for today using beet-dyed rice and a few fun sensory tools 💗  Now, yes, you’ve read that right. I dyed this rice using a little bit of beet water (from boiling beets) and about a tablespoon of distilled white vinegar. Add all into a big ziploc bag, shake and spread out on a sheet pan to dry completely, I like to do this overnight. This recipe is without any dyes, which I try to avoid. Even food dyes contain “lakes” and toxic stuff.  The beet water made a lovely deep pink color, perfect for Valentine’s Day! If you try this recipe out, let me know in the comments if you enjoyed it AND TAG me so I can take a peak!  SAVE for later and TAG your friends below to share!
