Silly Straw Bead Threading Activity

Are silly straws really that silly!?! Well, they are when you try and maneuver a bead from one curvy end to the other. The challenge is inviting for kids as they improve their fine motor skills. We also added color matching to this activity for an additional learning opportunity for your preschooler to play with. Supplies: Silly Straws (I found a pack of 6 at the dollar store) Large hole round beads (Pony beads are too small, find beads with a larger opening. I found mine at Hobby Lobby.) Directions: After gathering your supplies, invite the kids to place the beads on the silly straws. Encourage them to sort the beads by color and place the same color bead on the corresponding straw.
