Here is a low-prep, easy activity to keep your preschooler entertained this winter–winter cup stacking! Give your child some of these snowflake stickers and let them decorate plastic cups. Then they can have fun stacking the cups, and of course, knocking them down too. Other than the sticker backs, this activity is pretty mess free, unbreakable, and easy to put away!
Supplies Needed:
I ordered sparkly snowflake stickers and blue cups from Amazon to give this activity a winter feel.
Stacking Time!
Children love getting to use stickers! My son had so much fun decorating the cups with these sparkly snowflake stickers.
Building towers out of cups is lots of fun. This winter cup stacking activity is a great indoor activity for when it is too cold to be outside. Bonus, this is a fun way for preschoolers to grasp the building blocks of engineering. Preschoolers learn about building a sturdy base that can support the tower. Plus children will experiment with balancing things, and develop problem solving skills!
