Hide Scout, Violet or one of your child's other favorite toy friends in a drawer or cabinet. Help your child to knock and say, "knock, knock." Then, open the drawer or cabinet to see who is inside. You can also tape pictures on the outside or give your older toddler clues to guess who is waiting inside.
