Materials:
Clear plastic bottle (a Voss water bottle works well)
Black & white items to insert into the bottle—for example, golf tees, pompoms, beads, buttons, cut straws, etc.
Directions:
Present your baby with a basket of items to put into the bottle.
Demonstrate by dropping something in the bottle. Invite your baby to drop something in the bottle. Encourage your child to keep adding more items, occasionally adding one yourself to keep him interested.
When he’s done (or all the items are in the bottle) show him how to shake the items out of the bottle. Sometimes it takes a lot of shaking! If he’s still interested, do it again!
