National Meatball Day!
Target Age Range: 2 and up
Today is National Meatball Day, yes, it is a “thing”. In any case, what better way to celebrate than with reading “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” and playing with your very own meatball sensory bowl.
For the younger kiddos you can have the sensory bowl already made (I used yarn, construction paper, and play doh). For the older kiddos it would be great fine motor practice to build the bowl together (they get to cut the yarn and use the play doh to build meatballs-hand strength!).
Once the sensory bowl is built you can use regular tongs (jumbo tweezers) or scissor tongs (handy scoopers) to play and serve spaghetti and meatballs! A fun, fine motor and sensory motor activity!
Enjoy!
