I have quite a few students who need level 1 task boxes this year. My go-to for many of these students are "put-in" tasks because it allows them to do the tasks with as little prompting as necessary.Check out the "put in" tasks our classroom is full of now!

I've been struggling to come up with ideas of other manipulatives to use for put tasks. I've seen a lot of people use holiday/ themed items, but I'm not sure about the idea of only using the task boxes for a few weeks out of the school year. What are your favorite objects to use?
