Pruit Loops

I thought it would be fun to combine Landry's snack time and table time one day this week.  I was reading an article about the development of children Landry's age, and it said they were really working on perfecting fine and gross motor skills.  I would say that's pretty accurate, because lately Landry has really enjoyed pouring things into cups, using a variety of writing utensils, working on tedious tasks over and over again, running, jumping, etc.  Sometimes this really drives me crazy, because she wants to do everything on her own.  But if it's within reason, I just step back and let her do it, praying she doesn't hurt herself or someone else.
  
So for our activity/snack, I broke out the yarn and the "pruit loops,"  as Landry calls them.  We made a fruit loop necklace.  At first she was not too sure about this, because all she saw was me taking her fruit loops away.  But once I showed her that she would be able to eat the fruit loops off the necklace, she thought it was pretty cool.  Admittedly, I had to do most of the work.  It was still a little difficult for a child her age.  But, in the end, Landry had a nice snack she could wear.
