Infant and Toddler Activity

Dump and Fill

Sensory Motor Development: Individual or Small Group, 16 to 36 months
Goals: To increase sensory motor skills; to increase cognitive development
Materials: Dishpans, rice, oatmeal, beans, plastic measuring cups, measuring spoons
Procedure: Put about 2 inches of rice, oatmeal, or beans in a dishpan. Add a variety of cups and spoons. If necessary, place children’s hands in the container and help them explore the medium. Encourage them to fill the container with their hands and dump them. Have toddlers dump the contents from one container into another.
Integration: This activity is a precursor to pouring liquids, but far less messy. It has the potential for simple exploration as well as for building concepts about measurement and size. With older children, I would not use edible products but with infants and toddlers, they are likely to eat whatever they use.
