As is the movement to eat organic, healthy foods, I used to make Brandt homemade baby foods. I would spend a whole day preparing a wide variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean meats for the month. Then, I would pour the puréed into food storage systems and freeze.
Now, I have 5 sets of storage systems--and finally put one of them to good use! I was able to create a toy to help Brandt with fine motor and cognition.
First, this toy can be used to match the container to the correct color hole--almost like a puzzle. Then, the lids can be opened up for Pom-Pom color-sorting.
It is very useful and simple to make. I basically lined the tray with different colors of construction paper and then lined matching cups. I bought a bag of Pom-poms at Walmart, but I know the dollar store carries then from time to time, too. It is simple and inexpensive but it can offer valuable learning enjoyment!
