The Mom I Want to Be

 

Obtain at least 2 clear plastic containers (35mm film canisters, herb jars, etc).  The two containers should be the same size.  Place a small pompom or other small object inside one of the containers.  It should be able to be dumped out easily without sticking.  Invert the second container on top with the open ends making the seam.  Glue the two ends together with a hot glue gun or seal firmly with colored tape.  Completely cover one container with colored contact paper or colored tape; leave the second container uncovered so that you can see the pompom.  Allow toddler to explore the peek-a-boo tubes.  Demonstrate how to flip the tube over to make the pompom appear (“peek-a-boo!”) and disappear (uh-oh!”).
