Picking Up with Tongs

Some days my kids are great helpers, and other days not so much. On one of those "other days" we had a very cluttered home and needed to clean up before leaving. When my 2 year old refused to help, I handed him the kitchen tongs. And as if by magic, he was suddenly the world's best picker-uper! You could say (by looking at the pictures below) that he became a blur of activity! And he was practicing fine motor skills as well. :)
