I gave her the shaker and a small glass filled with toothpicks. I showed her how to pick up one toothpick at a time and drop it into the shaker. When it was her turn, she picked up several toothpicks at a time and then ended up dropping them. She learned that it worked much better to only pick up one at a time. She was very engaged in this task and thorougly enjoyed it. O(4) saw her working and has gotten this work off of E(1)'s shelf several times to do it herself :)

Freakin' brilliant. I assume this is great for fine motor development?
Great! Pinned!
Try spaghetti noodles instead of toothpicks, they are safer. ; )
I was doing this earlier with my 3yo and we used coffee stirrer straws (huge bag from dollar store).
