i have take the COEL and put a box on the bottom of my observation forms to show what COEL's that observation demonstrated and I tick those that were shown. I might also note or mention it in the evaluation of the observation.
I would not necessarily use COEL as a next steps/planning. Children will only engage or concentrate as they are ready for it.
If your LO is having fun putting things inside others that is sounding more like a containing schema. Schemas are great to plan for.
Make sure you have lots of bags, boxes and other things for them to put things inside. This one often develops into a transporting schema. So tipping into trucks/trolleys then moving and emptying the toys/objects into another container.
Does that help?
if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got
