Though this isn't something that holds either H's or F's attention for long these days, it kept them busy for long stretches when they were toddlers. I thought I'd share some of our favorites.
What you need:
- Containers
- Cheese shaker
- Sugar container
- Empty coffee cans or other cylinders with plastic tops
- Empty milk or other jug
- Fillers
- Pompoms
- Chenille sticks
- Large play coins
- Straws in different colors/lengths
- Stretchy snakes
- Craft sticks

Just fill and dump! You can make a sorting game out of it (sort the pompoms by color, or straws by length, etc) or give your child a variety of objects and ask them to sort by which items fit and which are too big.
