 
Blocks In, Blocks Out!
Take an empty oatmeal
container and get some of your toddler's blocks or small
toys. Then cut a square in the lid that will allow a
block (or small toy) to fit through. Next cut a
rectangle about double the size of the opening in the
lid on the side of the container. Then have your toddler
start to put the blocks in the opening on the lid. When
she has put in a few, let her roll the container slowly
along the floor and see the blocks fall out through the
side opening. Let her do it again and again.
Supplies Needed-
- Oatmeal container (42oz. shown in photo)
- scissors or utility knife
- blocks or small toys
Tips/Suggestions-
- As your toddler is putting things in the opening
count them with her!
- Mention what letters are on the blocks as she picks
them up, or what pictures are on them.
- Make it a game and sit a few feet from each other.
Have her put a few blocks in and then roll the container
to you! Then you put some block in and roll it back. See
how many blocks fall out while you roll it back and
forth!
