More Cheerio Fun

 What You'll Need:
Cheerios
(we used Trader Joe's Fruit O's)
PlayDoh
Speghetti Noodles


 As if making a clump of playdoh isn't fun enough, but then you add edible fun!

In our house, we're learning colors at one age, and patterns at the other. This was a great project to apply both.
 
Create a base with playdoh.
Stick dried speghetti or straws in the playdoh.
 
Ask children to match the colors on each stick.
Or, show children a pattern, and ask them to recreate it.
 
As always, allow a few "O's" to disappear in the process!
