This is a quick and easy "tivity" that works on fine motor skills. I just grabbed a bunch of rubber bands and wrapped them around our back doorknob. Then C had fun taking them off one by one and putting them back on. After she did that for a while, we practiced counting them as she took each one off and wrapped it around her wrist. This makes for some great counting practice! Since the bands were various colors, I also had her sort all of them by color.
I have just left the bands on the doorknob since then and every once in a while I'll see her playing with them!
I tried this with Thomas just now and he yanked all of them off at once. I'm going to have to work with him on this one by one idea!
