Let's Make Some Noise In & Out Toy

 

 

Ages: Phase 4 (5-1/2-8 months) through Phase 6 (14 to 24 months). Phase 7 (24 to 36 months) if variation is used.

Materials: metal lids (from orange juice, jelly jars,  mayo lids, etc.), coffee can

How to make: Wash lids and coffee can using soap and water.  Paint lids and can with non-toxic paint if desired.  Cut hole in lid for older children.

Activity: Infants and toddlers enjoy dumping and this toy provides the opportunity to do so.  It also makes an exciting sound as lids are returned to the can.  Older toddlers/babies can use as a simple shape sorter. 

Variations: Use multiple cans each painted a different color with lids painted matching colors.
