Master E and I had some time to ourselves whilst Miss M had a long nap the other day. We decided to do some crafting (nothing new for us!) and this is what we came up with.
Threading to make sculptures.
I set Master E up with a container of items to thread with, this included straws (cut into short lengths), coloured pasta (left over from necklace making), packing peanuts and some small beads.
I pushed some pipecleaners into a piece of packaging foam (I'm not really sure what it is called, was left over from buying some kinds of electrical product) and we were ready to get started.

Master E had never seen or touched packing peanuts before and was intrigued. He found it a bit tricky to thread them as they didn't have an existing hole and was keen for me to help.
|
 |
| After a while he soon got the hang of it and realised that if he pushed too hard it would break which he found to be frustrating. |
 |
| The beads were very popular and forced him to use his pincer grip. |
 |
| Lots of beads! |
 |
| I love the concentrating tongue! |

 |
| Once a pipecleaner was filled we bent it around and pushed it back into the foam to stop the pieces from falling off. |
 |
| There was a bit of sorting and organising going on too! |

 |
| The Sculpture now takes pride of place on Master E's book shelf. He was very excited by this activity and couldn't wait to show Mister Toddler Time when he got home! |
We had lots of fun creating the Sculptures all while working on Fine Motor Skills and spending some lovely Mummy and Son time together! It was super easy and you could make one using what ever you having laying around like we did.
Hope you enjoyed!
