The lightweight and easy – to – handle nature of felt storage baskets makes them perfect for toddlers. A small felt storage basket can be used by a toddler to carry their favorite toys around the house. As they learn to pick up their toys and put them in the basket, they are developing a sense of responsibility and independence. Parents can encourage this behavior by praising the toddler when they use the basket to clean up.​

In daycare centers, felt storage baskets can be used to create self – service areas for toddlers. A basket filled with snacks or small books can be placed at a low height, allowing toddlers to access them on their own. This promotes independence and self – confidence in toddlers as they learn to make choices and take care of their needs.
