Cut spice jars leaving a height of approx. 4 cm. Make a round opening at the top of the box of CDs. In the tupper cut a slot about 10x2cm in the ceiling and rounded on one side.

Sand with sanding paper or sanding block all cuts to smooth the edges. Arrange the items on the board and perform drills on the board elements to screw them later on with wood screws ...

Paste CD box cover with hot melt glue on the tupperware to form a toy-feeder, so that food placed on the top floor will have to be moved through the slot Tin the tupper's ceiling and removed through the side opening. Screw all the elements on the board ... and voila! Fixing by screwing allows remove items to clean them, but you can also paste them to the board with (non-toxic) hot melt glue.
