Fine Motor Skills- #3 Pom-Pom Balls & Ice Cube Trays

Materials: Ice Cube Trays (any would work; the ones shown are from Ikea), Pom-pom balls (local craft store), Tweezers/Small kitchen tongs,

Pom-Pom Balls and Ice Cube Tray Ideas: 

1. Sorting by colors

2. Placing a certain number of pom-pom balls into each hole

3. Using tweezers or any small kitchen tongs to pick up the pom-pom balls and place into the holes

4. Try to fill a tray with a certain color of pom-pom ball in each hole

5. “Play Catch” One person (most likely the older child or adult) throws a pom-pom and the other person tries to catch it in a hole on the tray. A personal favorite in my home.:))
