Tray
Bowl with lollipops
Colander/strainer
How?
Introduce the activity:
Take one lollipop at a time and poke it on the colander.When all lollipops are planted take them one at a time to tidy up back to the bowl.

My daughter loves the rhyme ‘Jonny,Jonny yes papa’ and so everytime a candy,chocolate,lollipop or any sweet is involved she usually recites the rhyme with someone.

7-Handmade Bead Roller Coaster Toy
Diy bead rollercoaster toy for homeschool
Materials:
- Colorful beads
- A piece of styrofoam
- Wire
A trip to the doctors inspired this little bead roller coaster activity(what Drs office does not have one of these hey) and I have to say I think I am almost more excited about it than the kids.
We used a piece of styrofoam that I had saved from a delivery,flower wire that I have been hoarding for years&some beads.It was so easy -I just pushed the wire through and bent a little hook (pushing it back in to the foam) to make it stay.The girls then thread beads onto the wire (notice my 4 yo’s patterns) and afterwards I manipulated the wire into a shape before pushing the other end through and making a little hook again.(Sounds confusing but I assure you it is simple:))
