“Use different size bottles for a quick and easy matching game. Remove all lids, place either next to matching bottle or away from it and let your toddler pick and choose what matches with what.  Calla would find one of my water bottles, juice bottles, lotion bottlers or anything of the sort, sit down and focus completely on trying to unscrew it.  Finally we made a game of it, with bottles of different sizes.  She would match up bottle to bottle, lid to lid, the different sizes, then eventually find the ones to match.  Many hours of quiet focus and determination.”
