Alien hat aka colander and pipe cleaners

 
I originally saw this idea on Pinterest, putting pipe cleaners into colanders. My OT kids love it because I call them “alien hats” and they get to put it on for a second when they are done. Be wary of the metal sharp pieces poking through if they put it on their head, be careful. But they beg for me to bring alien hat for one of their quick non-academic fine motor breaks.
