Confession: I’m a pouch lid hoarder…Anyone else with me? I don’t know about you but we go through food pouches in this house like crazy, especially in the summer when we are always in the car needing quick and easy snacks on the go. This means we have tons of those little circle tops everywhere!! So this week our #sensorysummer bin is filled with pouch lids!

Pouch Lid Threading:
Our pouch lids had the perfect size little openings for threading with lacing string. This was a bit too small for Aubrey’s little 1 year old fine motor skills, so I threaded a few for her and tied the ends together. She had fun sliding the lids back and forth on her “necklace” while Madelynn worked hard to fill her entire string.

Pouch Lid Art:
This activity was perfectly open ended. I invited the girls to create their own pictures with lids and modeled a few ideas to get them started. Madelynn made shapes and Aubrey liked filling them in. They worked together to make a house, sun, cloud, and flower.

Do you have a million pouch lids laying around too? I’d love to hear your creative pouch lid ideas, leave me a message with your favorite way to play!
