 awareness of ‘in’ and ‘out’, such as in the bag or container

Assemble and place in a row such items as a cup, a block, a spool, a clothes peg, a spoon and a large paper bag. Name each item for the child and instruct her to put them in the bag. Tell the child to empty the bag and repeat the process.

At another time, place these items in different areas in the room in clear view of the child. Name one of the objects and ask the child to place it in a bag. Help the child if necessary. Encourage the child to find another item and place it in the bag. Continue with this procedure until all of the items have been located and placed in the bag. Do this in the kitchen or another room where you may be working, and encourage the child to work independently.

Choose some other items that are familiar to the child, such as a stuffed animal, a small ball, a rattle, a small book, etc. Name each object for the child, and then instruct her to place these in the bag, one at a time, as you call them by name. Try to put them in a row and call them by name from left to right.

The following activity should be done with close supervision. This is important for awareness of detail and eye-hand coordination. Assemble in a row a raisin, a button, a piece of string, a paper clip and a key, and instruct the child to pick up these items, one at a time from left to right, as you call them by name in that order. They should be placed in a small container as the child picks them up. It is not necessary to use the words left and right, even though at this age, left and right awareness is important. Repeat this activity only with close supervision to prevent the child from swallowing or choking on these small items.
