I've read here about many Yorkies who like to take a bunch of kibble from their plates to other places in the house to eat. Maximo did a little of this at about the same age as your pup. He also liked to involve me in his meals. We had training sessions using his kibble and he liked to play games where he would perform a dramatic "sit" or "shake hands" for each kibble.
I agree with you that leaving the kibble out on the floor is probably not a good idea.
