10 Things for Kids to do with a Pile of Clothes Pegs!

When we lived in Bosnia, we had to devise a lot of our own amusements using simple household objects. I never realised what fun clothes pegs could be! Here are some of the things we discovered we could do with them.

1. Sort them into colours.
2. Post them into old food boxes or bottles.
3. Peg them onto curtains, the table cloth, a sheet thrown over a chair, a cardboard box. Un-peg them!
4. Peg them onto the clothes or hair of a willing volunteer (you!).
5. Use a stopwatch to see who can peg/un-peg the fastest.
6. Race to see who can peg/un-peg their pile of pegs the quickest.
7. Hide a clothes peg. Children have to find it. Say when they are warm/cold.
8. Clip pegs together to make objects.
9. Make road layouts with them.
10. Play Collect a Peg and Clothes Peg Chase
