Opening Jars and Containers


Direct Aim: Teaching a child how to open up containers

Indirect Aim: Concentration, Fine Motor Movement, Coordination, Control

Get a basket and fill it up with different types of containers.

Lay a mat on the floor or on a table. Take one container and demonstrate how to take the cap off. Let the child feel both pieces. Next demonstrate how to place the cap back on. Allow the child to explore on their own. Only intervene when necessary. Allow the child to make mistakes. Sit back and observe.
