Oh the things you can do with a Plastic Caps(KEXON). Do you save plastic bottle caps and lids? They are perfectly sized for little hands and can be used in oh so many ways. Here is a list of many ways to use these little round resources for learning.

Disclaimer: WARNING – bottle caps can present a chocking hazard. Small parts are not for children under 3 years.

Use plastic bottle caps along with craft sticks for building. This requires a steady hand and a little bit of patience and is a great fine motor activity.

Add a basket of plastic lids to your block center. How do your kids use them in their block creations?

A sensory bin can be filled with bottle caps or bottle caps can be added to a sensory bin filled with another material. Kids can find matching lids, matching colors or the lids can make great little containers for a sensory bin filled with rice, sand, beans, or corn. Kids can make little boats with the lids for a sensory bin filled with water. Bottle caps would also be a great addition to the sand box.

A bunch of bottle caps can be used with toy dump trucks, tractors, wagons, front-end loaders etc.

Color code containers and ask kids to sort lids into the appropriate colored containers or place colored puffballs into upside-down lids. Add a pair of tongs with large puffballs or a pair of tweezers with small puffballs for another great fine motor exercise.

Sort all of the lids by size. Can they be nested? Can they be stacked by size? How tall is the stack? How many can be nested together?
