Hide-and-seek

Materials You Need: Small soft toys; Carton box.

What You Can Do Together: Before you start, make sure you prepare the place where you will play. You can prepare a comfortable environment by sitting your little one in a chair in front of you.

To begin, place the toys in front of your little one so that he or she can touch them and become familiar with them; then place the box and hide the toys inside it, making sure your little one is watching.

When you finish hiding them, ask him or her: “where are the toys? What about the toys?” Showing him/her that they are inside the box and then encouraging him/her to look for them her/himself and hold them in the hands.

Every time she/he shows that they are there in the box, praise her/him for motivating her/him.

What Your Child is Learning: With this activity, you will be helping your little one to work on observation and his or her visual memory by looking for objects and touching and holding them in her/his hands.
