When we babyproofed our house, we put cabinet locks on everything but this one cabinet, so it could be Will's cabinet to get into since he likes to open and shut them so much. Like many toddlers, one of his favorite activities is to take things out of other things and spread them around, such as books out of the bookshelf, toys out of his toy basket, stuffed animals out of his cradle, toiletries out of mom and dad's bathroom baskets, or tupperware out of his cabinet. It's not so much that he wants to play with the things he takes out, it's that he just likes taking things out. He's been doing this reliably for awhile now - here he is three months ago after a successful emptying of the cupboard. We've been trying to teach him to put things back away, but he hasn't quite mastered that part yet.
It's funny, when it comes to his cabinet, he actually gets upset when he runs out of stuff to pull out. You can see in the bottom right picture that he works very hard to make sure he got everything.
