Easter Themed Paper Cup FMS Activity

This paper cup FMS (fine motor skills) activity is one that can be adapted for different seasons and celebrations.  I have done this one as an Easter themed one.

Make sure you follow my Easter board on Pinterest for more ideas.  Don’t forget to save the pin for later.

To make your own paper cup FMS activity you will need:

• Paper cup
• Q tips
• Pens
• Pointed screwdriver

Decorate your cup with your design.

Using a pointed screwdriver make holes in the paper cup.

Using your pens, colour in the cotton part of the Q-tips to match your design.  Then cut the Q-tips in half.

Depending on the age of your little one, you can either place all the Q-Tips in a dish for your child to put into the cup or you can put all the Q-Tips for your little one to pull out.  NC is at that stage where she loves to pull things out and putting things in containers.  She wasn’t able to put the Q-Tips back into the holes without assistance, but she certainly gave it her best shot.

I will give a note of caution.  Because this activity does use Q-tips which have been cut in half, it therefore could pose a risk for children who put things in their mouths.  NC is only 13 months, so I was watching her like a hawk when she was playing with it.
