Tower Building with Pasta & Cheerios

This fine motor activity for toddlers is a winner when it comes to preparation, skills and fun! Have your child build a tower using a piece of play dough, spaghetti and a straw for the base of the tower, and cheerios and penne pasta to build the tower!

You can even enhance your child’s vocabulary by asking questions like which tower is long and which is short. Your child will also realize that cheerios will not fit into the straw since the opening is too small. The best part? You probably have the required materials lying around the house!

You can also use different options, like small pasta rings or beads of different sizes.
