Provide baskets of various shapes, colors and sizes. Place items such as textured balls, scarves, water bottle shakers and soft toddler blocks in separate baskets. Model how to pour out and explore the items. Pique the children's interest by chanting, “A tisket, a tasket, what is in the basket?” As the children pour the items on the floor, describe the items you see. Have the children place the items back in the basket and pour them out again.
