What Are In and Out?

The spoken lesson

"An object is in when it is inside something. Look at the ball. The ball goes in the basket. In. Now the caregiver takes the ball out. Out. A large block can go in a box and come out again. A cloth can go in a container and come out. Caregiver, use one wide, safe basket and one object that is much too large to swallow. Put it in. Take it out. In means inside. Out means outside. In and out help us describe where an object is." DESIGN REQUIREMENTS: Use slow, realistic motion and large objects. Do not use drag-and-drop as a required infant task. Do not display containers as hiding or climbing spaces.
