I found this idea at Aday Family Memories, but used pom-poms instead of pasta as another reader suggested.

I got this idea from the 1+1+1=1 Tot Trays site. You punch a few holes in an empty cereal box and then provide some dry pasta for your toddler to punch through the holes. It was super easy and Sweat Pea loved it. She played with it for 30 minutes […]
