Awesome activity and incredibly easy to set up.
Spoons and Tongs
Materials:
2 shallow bowls
Large serving spoon
Kitchen Tongs
Small toys or Marshmallows
Set bowls side by side on table, fill one bowl with small toys or marshmallows (we use finger puppets that we got from IKEA.) Use serving spoon to scoop up the toys and transfer them to the other bowl.
When Sam gets restless with this we put the spoon away and use tongs to do the same thing. When he gets restless with the tongs we bring the spoon back out and make “soup” and pretend to eat it. This keeps Sam entertained for about 20 minutes. Not only does this keep him busy but I have noticed a huge increase in his motor skills and he is finally attempting to use a spoon while eating!
This is a great activity to use when you need to keep the kiddo entertained while you clean or get stuff done around the house. The worse they can do is use the bowls and spoons as drums. A little noise never hurt anybody right?
