Provide the child with a clean, narrow-mouth container, such as a water bottle or a milk jug, and a large quantity of non-spring, one-piece wooden clothespins. Model how to turn the clothespin to drop it into the opening. Encourage the children to drop all the pins into the container. Offer verbal assistance if a child is having difficulty.
