This is a fun, quick and easy activity using two things you likely already have in your house: straws and pom poms. Kay and I had pom pom races, blowing in the straw to move the pom poms to the finish line. Not to brag, but I won most of the races. I can't brag because I only won due to the competition being unable to stop giggling.
Then she wanted to blow the pom pom through the "tunnel" (paper towel roll). This was a good idea to me because it kept her busy (and quiet) for a while (bonus!) I always know it's a success when she asks for it again and she did...the very next day!
Um, yeah, I'd say she liked it!
For more fun with pom poms, check out these variations:
Frugal Fun for Boys led their pom poms through a track made of blue tape on the floor and School Time Snippets had races using a turkey baster to propel the pom poms!
