Default Using Ferber method in everyday life

A less messy way to do this is to create a ball of masking tape and giving
it to the child. It has the same end result and is much tidier.

But kids like to get messy. It always in the best interest of the child if
you don't ever let them get messy.

What would happen in my case is the bowl would just be dumped out
immediately.

Try ice cubes. My granddaughter loves these and doesn't dump them
for a long time.



My mother loves to occupy kids this age by getting something sticky on
their fingers (syrup or jelly) and then putting something light -- like
a feather or cotton ball -- on their high chair tray. Pulling it from
hand to hand and trying to put it down can keep them delightfully
occupied for a very long time!

Ack, that should read, it is not in the best interest of the child to never
get messy.
