Need to keep the kids busy? How about cutting a slot into the top of a jar and giving them some bingo dots or coins to put inside.

This was inspired when a game of bingo got a little out of hand and the small, plastic bingo markers were all over the floor. Needing to get the kids on board with picking them up, I made a game out of it. Voila! The floor was clean in just a few minutes, the little guy has a new instrument, I found a use for the apple sauce jars I can’t seem to throw away and they all got to work on their fine motor skills.
