How to try it

Set out a few plastic containers with their lids mixed up, and help your toddler find which lid fits which pot. Clap together each time a pair snaps into place.

Materials

  • Plastic containers
  • Lids

Safety note

Offer only large lids and stay close, since small pieces can be a choking hazard.
