Lids

Here are some containers I put out for Q to practice opening and closing. There are several different types--flip top (honey), screw top, a type that fits on and off, and then various sizes. I also used cinnamon, face lotion, and strawberry hand lotion jars (empty) so they still smell faintly, a nice surprise!

Babies could just explore various sizes and weights of jars......Preschoolers could be presented with the challenge of matching which lid goes with which jar (take them all off and store the lids in a container), which adds additional challenge!

Practical life, fine motor, problem solving, and even some environmental print, as Q has been noticing letters on the jars!
