Clothes Peg Poke

This idea is from 350+ Free Activities For Toddlers.

You'll Need:
  • empty egg carton
  • pegs
Directions:
Turn the egg carton upside down and poke small holes in the bottom of each section (just big enough to fit a clothes peg in). Show your toddler how to poke the pegs into the holes, and they can have fun taking them out and putting them back in again.

This one I decided to do late in the afternoon, after finishing reading the book, as it required little preparation. I thought it might be something to keep Biscuit occupied until dinner was ready.

We set her up on her little table with the carton and the pegs. I was surprised that she did actually have quite a bit of fun putting the pegs in and out of the holes.


Hilariously, she also found some limbs from our playdough "Mr Potato Head" kit, and decided to stick them into the holes too.



She was sooooo excited for some reason!





To me it looks like a fresh batch of zombies punching their way out of the ground! Haha ha!


"Kru bilong het!" (that's Tok Pisin for "brains!!")

Quite a good timewaster for such a small amount of effort. And it was still interesting enough the next morning. I give it 3.5 stars!
