Even the big pom-poms fit through the hole if he pushes hard enough. Add some learning to his play. Ask him to…
  • …put two pom-poms in at a time and count by twos as he puts them in.
  • …ask him to count by ones and watch him learn number correspondence as he relates each number to a quantity.
  • …ask him to put all of the yellow pom-poms in the bottle first.
  • …ask him to find the biggest blue pom-pom, and then the smallest blue pom-pom.   Compare the sizes.
  • …ask him when the bottle is half full.   Discuss how he has half-left to fill.
  • …give him extra fine motor skills and ask him to remove the pom-poms.   Give him tweezers if he is three years old (or a confident 2 year old) to grip the pom-poms and pull them out.
