Let them practice emptying the pitcher into the bowl.

]]> 104877 1 38 Tip It’ll be easier for your child to pour if the bowl is at least at waist level, so have them stand on a stool while they practice.

]]> 104878 2 43 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/284697/43.jpg Pour liquid Once they can pour dry stuff without any spills, graduate to pouring a liquid. Put about half a cup of water into the pitcher for them to empty into the bowl.

]]> 104879 3 52 Tip A plastic tablecloth under the bowl will make it easier to wipe up spills.

]]> 104880 4 56 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/284697/56.jpg Switch to a cup When your child has mastered pouring water into the bowl, let them try to hit a smaller target: their cup. Put a small amount of water in the pitcher and let them fill and refill their cup to their heart’s content.

]]> 104881 5 69 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/284697/69.jpg Continue to use the pitcher Keep that small pitcher filled with their beverage of choice – it’ll be hard for your child to handle a milk or juice container at first. Let them continue to practice their pouring – until one day they’ll be filling your orange juice glass.

]]> 104882 6 82 Fact Did you know? In 1951, Swedish scientist Ruben Rausing developed a sealed, cardboard beverage box that did not require refrigeration, revolutionizing the way milk and juice were packaged around the world.
