A few weeks ago Michael's had some crafting kits on clearance. I know Xander is a ways off from crafting, but I picked one up figuring I would find something to do with it. The kit included a bunch of pom poms in various sizes. I put the largest ones in an empty cocoa container to see what he would do with it.
At first I showed him all of the pom poms inside and closed the lid. He played with the container for a while, but was unable to get it open. Finally I took the lid off and he had a great time with them! He knocked them around, felt them, and tasted them. Many times I put them back in for him to dump out again. He also thought it was funny if I tossed some in the air and let them rain down on us. I think the pom poms turned out to be good motor development since he wanted to try to crawl after them.
Oh, and just a reminder how much babies like exploring normal objects, Xander spent much of one morning amusing himself with an empty cereal box and an empty orange juice container.
