Description: Hide various objects in a container of noodles. Let the little ones dig through the noodles to find the buried treasure. Bury treats for added motivation. I also individually wrapped the treats so they would have to work on opening them.
Age: 3 years and up, or when you can be sure they won’t try to eat the noodles
Purpose:
Sensory,
Fine motor,
Labelling.
Prep time: Minimal
What you’ll need: one or two packages of small noodles. We used the small shells. Various small objects you can find around the house. I put in small dinosaurs, Lego men, magnetic letters, small chocolates and cars.
Fun Factor: They had a good time looking for the objects (especially the chocolates), but it lasted a relatively short time. However, they played with the noodles afterwards by pouring them into different containers. It’s like water without the mess
Tip: Use a serving tray or large shallow container to catch any noodles that escape
