This little game is appropriate for babies ages 14-24 months. It will help develop fine motor skills and perceptual motor abilities as she uses her eyes and fingers to accomplish the task. Allowing her to explore the can and figure out how to insert the sticks is good for developing problem solving skills.
As your little one plays with this over and over she will learn to easily turn and tilt the can to make inserting the sticks easier.
What you need...
-popsicle sticks (you can also use pipe cleaners or flat poker chips)
-tennis ball can or other cylinder type container with lid. Cut a slot in the lid that will allow the objects to pass through
