Make your toddlers this easy popsicle sticks picker and let them have fun picking stuff from everywhere.
So I am back with another fun and easy pom pom crafts for a toddler but this time it's all about the popsicle sticks. Don't kids just love them. Popsicle sticks come in super handy to build towers, to create fun art and crafts with, and lately my little toddler has been having a blast using her popsicle sticks to pick up her fallen pom poms on the ground.
All you need for the popsicle picker are a few popsicle sticks and rubber ties. So let's get started!

Activity set up
This is an easy to set up an activity for kids that they will absolutely love. Also, I often reward my daughter once she picks up all her pom poms and collects them in a bowl. Great way to get the house cleaned!
So let's get into how to make an easy popscile sticks picker!
Place two posicle sticks together and tie rubber ties on both the ends to hold them together as shown. Now hold two popsicle sticks and connect them to the first popsicle sticks attachment and connect them together at the end using a rubber tie. Using two rubber ties criss cross at the center of the sticks to form a sturdy attachment.
That's it! The popsicle sticks picker is ready.
Now give your toddlers some pom poms and let them have fun transferring the pom poms to the bowl. You will be surprised to see that once they have got a hang of this, they will go over it multiple times!
While doing this activity with your toddler, you can give them tasks like collect all the red or yellow pom poms, in a way teaching them about the colors. Also, you can ask them to collect 10 pom poms in the bowl, in a way teaching them about the numbers.
Toddler activities don't have to be complicated ones. They can be simple activities that are easy to set up and most importantly easy for your toddlers to play with.
