We are having so much fun with our heart shaped pasta! Who knew we’d get so many uses from it. I had put some in our valentine sensory box along with some little straws, and Theo had been having a blast putting the straws through the pasta. So why not make him his own little fine motor skill practice using the same materials!
I grabbed a cutting board and some pink play dough we had made, stuck some heart straws in the play dough, and set a little bowl of heart shaped pasta next to it. Theo stacked and unstacked the pasta for quite a while! He also enjoyed taking it all apart and rebuilding it over and over. So much fun for little hands and great fine motor practice too!

Really great idea! My little one would love this. She just loves putting lids on and taking them off and this would be so much more fun than that. Thanks so much for sharing on We Made That!
Wow, where did you get that cute heart-shaped pasta? Looks like you guys are having fun with it!
We found it at Cost Plus. (I love that place!) I may need to head back for more!

How sweet! I love this fine motor skill activity that you have created. Where did you find those super sweet straws? Thank you for linking up this week to the Hearts for Home Blog Hop!
That pasta is so cool! We did an activity like this with my toddler, but we used cut paper towel rolls instead. I wish we had had some heart shaped pasta, though, it’s so cute.
