Give a radio or old device that does not work and a small screwdriver. Let him open it and check what’s inside (only for older children).
Punching holes in a paper using a punch, it seems a bit too simple but it works, they can even make fun shapes.
Put clothespins around a box or sheet, you must complete it and you can do it by colors.
Thread macaroni on a string or yarn to make an original necklace.
Give the child an egg cup and ask him to introduce a different type of food in each hole: macaroni, rice, beans …
Bake or Cook. Make some cookies or brownies! You can also make some pizzas.
Balloons. Inflate balloons, then have your child bounce, throw, and hit the balloon so it reaches the other side of the room without touching the ground. It is a fun game and it is very good to develop the coordination between sight and hands.
