Pipe cleaners and a colander

This is an activity that I bring out when I’m pottering around in the kitchen. It gives me time to cook or do the dishes and keeps my friends out of trouble and those little fingers busy for a while. It always amazes me how such a simple project can keep them entertained for so long and all the while they are in fact improving their concentration and fine motor skills. A win/win for the nanny and her little friends.
