Fun and Learning with Fruit Loops

I love using Fruit Loops in kids activities! The kids love it even more.
 
This week we are focusing on colours. The littlest ones are learning to match colours and learn their names, while the more advanced toddlers will learn about mixing colours, pattern making, and using colours in art.
 
Today we played match the colours. I cut out circles of different colours and glued them on the paper. Then I poured some glue on each dot and put out a bowl of the cereal.
 
I placed a fruit loop on one circle and asked: Are these two the same colour? How about these?
 
They took it from there:)
 
 
When they grew  bored of that activity, I brought out some pipe cleaners and we worked on some fine motor skills. It took a while to get the bracelets full because the kids kept eating them!
