What Can You Do With a...?
Toddlers love to explore their world and see what they can do! Any item can be interesting to a toddler, which is why they play with boxes and pots & pans as much as they play with toys. Nurture this interest by giving your little one some empty boxes, containers with lids, pots & pans, plastic bowls or any other item that is safe for him to play with. These first attempts at pretend play really get that imagination going!
