Make a toy from a can with a plastic lid, a pom-pom and soft elastic. Remove the metal ends of the can. Make sure you use a can opener that doesn't leave a sharp edge. Cover the can with contact paper. Fold the excess over the edges. Cut a piece of soft elastic the same length as the can, and thread it through a slit in the plastic lid, securing it from the outside. Fasten the other end of the elastic to the pom-pom or other object. Place the lid on the can so the object and the elastic are inside. The infant grasps the object from the open end and pulls on it. When the infant lets go, the object pops back in the can.
