Activity #12: Noodle Play



Description: If you don’t like the idea of letting your kids play with a tub of water in your house, you can try noodles. Use a large shallow container or a serving tray and pour in small noodles. There are so many ways to play with noodles. Here are a few ideas: 1) Have cars and trucks drive through them 2) use measuring cups and spoons for pouring and measuring 3) if you buy noodles with a hole, you can string them on shoelaces 4) put them through a gum ball machine.
Age: Officially 3+, but when ever you can trust your kids not to eat them
Purpose:
Sensory
Measuring
Pretend play
Fine motor
Prep time: minimal
What you’ll need: a shallow container or serving tray and a bag of noodles and any other items
Fun Factor: My kids love to play with noodles, probably because the play is so variable. Their favourite thing to do is to fill up a gum ball machine with noodles and then get the noodles out by turning the dial. Although the noodles will get out of the tray, the clean up is easy with a broom.
