 awareness of matching lids

 enhancement of the sense of touch

Assemble a plastic jar and lid, a saucepan with a matching lid, a shoe box and lid and several other things with matching lids. Make certain that the lids will be easy for the child to take off and replace. If the task is too difficult, the child will become frustrated and lose interest.

Once the materials are assembled, present three of these containers to the child and allow her to remove and replace the lids. The child may need some assistance in putting the correct lids on the containers, but be sure to allow the child the privilege of trial and error. Nevertheless, assist the child whenever necessary to avoid frustration.

Change the type of containers throughout the week and try to let the child work independently whenever possible. Use a maximum of three containers at a time. Too many containers will confuse the child. Use the words ‘on’and ‘off’as the lids are put on and taken off.

Throughout the week, call your child’s attention to other things that have lids. It may be in the bedroom, kitchen, bathroom or other places. This will serve to expand your child’s awareness of things in her immediate environment.
