Cut four holes in a small cardboard or tissue box, and feed ribbon through the holes. Be sure to knot the end of the ribbon so it doesn't come all the way out. Model for the infant during play time how to pull the ribbon. As the infant pulls the ribbon, say the term "more" to encourage the infant to continue to pull it through the opening. Say, "You're pulling the ribbon. Is there more ribbon? Pull it and see."
