Toddler Tote/Bags

I use the clear small totes that stack easily. For the bags, I use different size zipper bags. These are plastic so I empty them and put the bag away. When it is time to clean up, I supervise the clean up. (Toddlers can fit there head into a Ziploc bag.)

Toddler Tote/Bags

· Wooden Puzzles
· Wooden Alphabet Blocks
· Large buttons and shoe laces. (This is a set I bought. These buttons are from 2 to 4 inches in diameter.) Smaller buttons can be a choking hazard.
· Store brand Cereal and yarn (The yarn is tied around one piece of cereal on the end. This way she can add cereal pieces without them falling off.)
· Play Dough with cookie cutters, roller, small bowls, etc.
· Coffee money can. This is a coffee can with a slit in the top with cardboard circles. (I have used play money when she got older and wouldn’t put them into her mouth.) Also in this bag are other toys that she can put into the coffee can and close the lid.
· Sandpaper with yarn. (She loves taking the yarn on and off the sandpaper. I show her how to make different shapes.)
· Large Lego’s
· Flash cards with colors, shapes, or pictures on them.
· Counting bears with egg carton. (She loves sorting the bears by color into the egg carton.)
· Ice cube tray with different kinds of store brand cereal. (I usually do not let her use this bag close to lunch or dinner.) Remember to throw away the cereal after she plays with it and replace it with new.
· Magnetic board with letters
· Tote with cereal (Rice Krispies) and spoons, funnel, bowls and cups. I usually add the cereal before she plays with this and throw it away when she is done. This is a great alternative to rice or beans but it still makes a mess.
· A collection of hard plastic animals and some cars.
· Foam shapes with holes around the edges with long shoe strings for lacing. (I bought these at Target)
· Some small board books.
