Niko likes sensory puzzle activities. For this activity, he sorted the pompoms using tweezers to their matching colors then scooped and filled the whole cardboard egg with rice.
We used the pom-poms gifted to us by Pandie. Pom-poms are one of my favorite materials. There are so many crafts and activities that you can do and create with them.
