Apple Sorting with Chickpeas

Notice how your child might pinch the chickpeas to pick them up! Watch and encourage them to push, poke, and place the chickpeas into water bottles. These playful acts are wonderful skills they are developing to strengthen the fine motor muscles used later on for writing skills!

Kids love sorting the “apples” with this adorable Fall craft project! Easy to make and fun to do, this activity uses dried chickpeas and plastic bottles! Sorting the tiny “apples” helps to build concentration skills by filling up each tree!
