Today I set up a wee treasure basket idea, such a simple wee activity but loads of benefits for your wee ones. Treasure baskets help personal, social and emotional development.
\nFill your basket or tray with everyday items – metal\/ wooden spoons, rolling pins, feathers, sponges, ribbon etc this gives your child an opportunity to explore, experiment and make choices at their own pace.
\nBenefits: helps to develop your wee ones independence, deepens concentration and develops their problem solving skills while offering sensory and fine\/ gross motor skills.
\nWee tips to help: the focus is all about your child , they will decide what to do and what they do with it , try and have a clear space in a quiet environment, observe your child playing, thinking what they are going to do , you could add a simple colander – offering lots of open ended play, your wee one might put it on their heads, roll it, spin it, put things in it, children learn to \u201c think outside the box\u201d and explore in a world of \u201c what if….\u201d
\nhave lots of fun. Lorraine \u2665\ufe0f<\/p>\n
