Treasure Basket
At home, parents can build a "Treasure Basket",it is a box filled with common objects found in the home, The activity is especially stimulating for infants old enough to sit up on their own.
The objects are ones used by
people everyday and the child may be interested in
exploring them, such as pens, paper, large buttons,
bells, toilet paper rolls, apple, cheese, cloth, CD,
tapes, water bottles, books, toothpaste, flowers, etc.
They will give child full sensorial experiences during a
time when a child is not yet fully mobile but with an
Absorbent Mind eager to learn new things. The objects
stimulate the senses by allowing the child to see, touch,
hear, smell and taste. Some objects have specific use,
others just look or feel a certain way. They will lead
the child to ask their questions of 'what is this ?' and
'what can I do with it ?', thus laying the foundation of
understanding the world they live in.
