Fine Motor Fruit Loops Ornaments for Toddlers

Jackie Currie — Fri, 20 Nov 2015 04:01:58 +0000

Just popping in with a super-quick little ornament for your toddlers to make.

This actually didn't even start out as an ornament. We were just doing this as a fine motor activity.

It occurred to me, when we were finished, that we could bend them and shape them, and hang them on the Christmas tree!

FYI: be prepared for some snacking while you're making these. They can never resist. Hee hee
