A lid that does not fit

A problem-solver needs a problem with an answer in the room. Three lids and three pots is a puzzle a toddler can hold entirely — every piece is visible, every attempt gives an immediate answer, and nothing is hidden.

🧺 You need

  • three containers with three matching lids, obviously different sizes

🛡️ Nothing that clips or latches, no glass, and no lid small enough to fit in a mouth. Check every lid comes off again easily before handing it over.

Three pots, three lids, sizes far apart

Small, medium and clearly large. Close sizes make it a fine-motor task instead of a thinking one.
