Materials needed (affiliate links):

Pipe cleaners

Lint roller

Pair of scissors

Bowl

Start by cutting some pipe cleaners into two-inch sections. Then give the pipe cleaner pieces a small bend in the middle just so they aren’t totally straight. Finally, give your toddler a lint roller and ask them to pick up the pipe cleaner worms with the lint roller and place in a bowl. Alexander immediately understood what I was asking him to do and proceeded to pick up all the worms.

He then emptied the bowl onto the table, spread out the worms and started the activity again. This activity is great for fine motor skills, crossing the midline, color identification (you can ask them to pick up specific colored worms) and even number recognition (ask them to collect a specific number of worms).
