This is one of the most popular straw activities out there, and we can see why! Craft a marble maze inside a cardboard box, then roll the marble or tilt the box to complete the puzzle. When you find one you like, use a little glue to fix it in place on a piece of paper. Create a colorful straw sceneĬut colored straws into pieces and use them to make pictures. Wee fingers will get terrific fine motor skills practice threading the straws in and out. Simply give them a colander and some straws (make sure the straws fit through the holes). Little ones will love this straw activity, and it couldn’t be easier to set up. Combine straws with a colander for fine motor practice For a real challenge, make a tower that can support the weight of a bucket of coins. Ask kids to build a bridge or the tallest tower they can. You can do some pretty cool STEM challenges with straws.
