Soda Bottle and Canning Ring Time

Toddler ages: 23 months, 23 months, 3.5 years

Materials you'll need:
-empty soda bottles filled with various objects such as beans, rice, etc.
-canning rings

Remember these soda bottles?....



So I'm not sure which toddler came up with this idea, but I walked in on them having retrieved all of the canning lids from their drawer and using them as soda bottle jewelry. Here's the fun they had...





Here, notice the excitement manifested by the wriggling feet...



Canning lids on feet...





Canning lids on hands...



Angel canning lids...




Peek-a-boo canning lids...



Not sure he wants to share canning lids...



Done with canning lids...



Still loving to shake the soda bottles...



Hope you and your toddler(s) enjoy this as much as we did!

  2. That is exactly the stuff Blaze likes to play with. He also likes my scrunchies. I don't have long hair anymore so I let him have them.

  5. Jen, I was just scrollong through older postings on this blog (which I really should know better than to do currently 8-/ - yeah. time to sign off the computer!!) when I noticed something in one of this postings pictures.

    You know how I often see things differently - not just look at things from a mentally different point of view - but also see things through my eyes different (does all of that make sense?)

    In the picture where the twin in the red sleeper is putting the canning rings onto his foot - to me - it looks like there is a pine tree on your blue stair tiles, standing between two flowers, and the pine tree is made up of a smilie face.

    :-} Nice!!

  6. What a fun idea! And I just happen to have IBC bottles and canning lids! This will keep my mechanically-minded son busy for a while!
    Thanks,
