Model how to drop an object inside a container and pull it out. Give the infant a clean, empty container such as a coffee canister or an oatmeal tub. Provide objects, such as balls or small blocks, to drop inside. Observe while the infant drops and retrieves the object from the container. Offer assistance if needed. Vary objects often to encourage repetition.
