Pots and Pans

2 or more players
Ages: 2 - 5
Need pots, pans, containers, lids

If you're cleaning out your cupboards this game is perfect for that time. Let your kids help you sort the items, then find and place lids on them.

On carpeting or a rug, place as many pots, pans, containers and lids as you want your child to play with.

Tell her she has to find lids for all the items, then place these lids on top of the item they belong to.

This helps children discern sizes and shapes as well as learning how to put lids on items and containers so they fit tight.

As an added bonus, you can put them back in your cupboard with lids on tight and reorganize your space!

You probably have various sizes of pots that fit into each other.

Let your child find the biggest pot, then the next biggest down to the smallest. Have her line these up side by side.

Then have her take the biggest pot and put it beside her. Let her put the next sized pot inside the biggest pot. Continue until all the pots are stacked inside each other.

Talk with her about what you can cook in each pot. A small pot may be suitable for water for making tea while a big pot is used for cooking pasta.

If you have tupperware that you store without lids on, have your child put the smaller bowls into the larger bowls.
