Jack really liked this and it was so cheap and easy to make. It's a two liter bottle with no lid. I cut a square at the bottom and lined it with tape so that he could retrieve the pom poms after he puts them in the top. Fun. Cheap. Easy.
I made this for the little 15 month old that I babysit, he thought it was the greatest thing EVER! He played with it for onver 20 minutes straight! thanks so much for the great idea!
It's so funny to stumble across this post! I JUST did this tonight with my 19 month old and he really enjoyed it. (I used a 16 oz bottle and the smallest size of pompoms that I had gotten at the dollar store.) Hadn't thought of cutting a whole in the bottom...I'll have to try that!
I am a stay at home mom of four boys and a little girl all under the age of five. I also teach Preschool from my home. I plan to homeschool my children. Even though they are not to the school age yet, I think it is important to start nurturing those little minds early on! My blog is called "Little Hands, Big Work" because every time a little hand starts playing they are really learning and working. Playing becomes learning and learning becomes growing, and isn't that what life is all about? I plan to post about activities, food, organization, parenting tips and more for the baby to 5 crowd.
I earned my Associates degree with most of my classes being in early childhood education. I was a preschool teacher for 3 1/2 years before I left to be a stay at home Mom and I have been loving it!
