I found some very cute ladybird pegs at our local supermarket this week and decided to make a game from them for the girls. Bubble finds a lot of fine motor activities a bit tricky so I thought a pegging clothes game would help with her pincer skills. The 'clothes' I just free hand cut into shapes from sheets of felt, but you could just as easily use small face washers, dolls clothes, scarves, scraps of fabric etc...
For the clothes line I was a bit stumped, Ive seen some very cute ones in toy stores locally but they seemed a bit expensive to me and space is limited in our tiny apartment. Instead I used an IKEA stool we have at the craft table and tied wool from leg to leg, this could work just as easily using a kitchen chair or even table legs.
At first Bubble found it frustrating but after some practice she got the hang of pegging up the clothes, and Squeak enjoyed following along behind yanking them off again :-D
WE USED:
* felt sheets
* scissors
*mini pegs
* wool
*stool (or chair/table)

The felt clothes were very easy to make, it doesnt matter if they aren't perfect the kids wont notice :-)
