Standing Pool Noodle Toddler Activity * ages 2-3

Standing Pool Noodle Toddler Activity * ages 2-3 * Here’s a fun, outdoor toddler activity that’s great for building gross motor, fine motor and hand-eye coordination skills.

Pool Noodles – (We got ours at Five Below for $1 each)

Pencils or wooden dowels

Start by placing the pencils or wooden dowels in the ground about 1-2 feet apart. Then instruct your toddler to pick up a pool noodle and place it over the pencil to get it to stand up straight. It is challenging for them to deal with the weight of the noodle while trying to get it to go over the pencil. To make it a bit simpler you could cut the noodles in half.

Alexander loved this activity and once he completed it he took all the noodles down and proceeded to do the activity again! Success!
