Looking for a new toy for your toddler to play with? Look no further than an empty Pringles container!

Created by How Does She, the "Toddler busy can" promises to do just that: keep toddlers busy!

Sharing the video on their Facebook page, How She Does says, “It's sure to keep that little toddler entertained and busy so you can get some laundry done, or maybe shower, or clean the kitchen."

The reaction on Facebook has been positive with many praising the activity for its simplicity.

“Works really well for kids with autism too as a calming activity as well as working on their gross motor hand eye coordination, said one commenters, adding, “I used pick up sticks instead of pipe cleaners as they are more durable.”
