Repeat the word (only a few times) "Drop it" in a nice tone. When he does, praise him and say "good drop it". Obviously repitition will allow it to sink in. Good luck!
Thanks for the help. My little guy drops it sometimes but when I go to grab it he bites it. I guess I should wait until he is done playing with it, drops it, and then take it away and toss it again.
