Jars and Lids

Another great toddler tablework task--
Opening and closing containers

*you can either remove all the lids and have the child match them up
*or  just put the items out and allow for free exploration with the objects
*at some point you can put out objects (coins, rocks, marbles, etc.) and ask the child to put one inside each container
*great fine motor and wrist strength promoter
*encourages simple problem solving skills
*fosters independence (teaches child to open items themselves)
