My toddler never gets tired of taking plastic containers, pots and pans in and out of the kitchen cupboards and pulling books off shelves. Why is this happening and what can I do about it?

Tell me about it. My toddler does it all the time. She even knows how to unhook and replace back the child lock. Ikea has very good coloured utensils. She will take them out and play with them. You can even teach her on categorising the cups from the plates and bowls or by colours. Mix them up with forks and spoons. Imagine play like tea party. Train her motor skills like stiring and stacking. Next you can guide her on housekeeping too.
