Find things with a cover or top you can take on and off. It can be a pot with a lid or maybe a box. Even an empty bottle works. Ask your child to match the lids with the right bottom. After they found the pairs, they can try putting the tops on and taking them off again. Be creative as they get better at matching and give them different lids and containers to try.
