You can put manipulatives into any container, but when you make the container into a creature that is hungry, it makes it so much more fun to do the work. I saw this cute little creature on Pinterest, but it originally came from a blog called The Preschool Experiment.  He was so easy to make, and adds some fun to placing objects into a container.

You could use pom poms to put in his mouth, or any other small object.  I would also use chopsticks or clothespins to work on some other strengthening. There are loads of manipulative options to choose from such as mini bugs and mini sea creatures.
