Toddler Toothpicks Fine Motor Activity

"Have a spice jar handy? How about toothpicks? That’s all this toddler fine motor activity requires. I set the empty spice jar on the ground and set out ten toothpicks (I counted before laying them out so I would know I got them all picked up at the end of play.) I picked up a toothpick and dropped it through a hole in the lid. You can bet my toddler wanted to try that too. She carefully poked all ten toothpicks through the holes with great concentration. She actually did this activity three times in a row before getting tired of it and deciding to use the jar with toothpicks it as a musical instrument." -ALISSA MARQUESS
