For younger children who have just started to look around, but also for children up to two years, is very interesting the Treasure Basket, as it is called by Elinor Goldschmied.
This game helps develop the ability to make decisions and for this reason the adult should not intervene; but the presence of the adult is necessary and reassuring.
Often, when children can sit, they complain because they are bored. So with the treasure basket they have at hand a lot of curious and interesting things to observe. As we will see the list at the bottom, there are items that stimulate all senses of the child, with textures, weights and shapes differents, variety of scents, sounds, color, luster different.
The following are the indications that necessary for this game.
The size of the basket should not be less than 35 cm in diameter and 10-12,5 cm in height. Must have a flat bottom, be without handles and strong enough so that the child can lean without capsizing. It should have straight sides and be of natural material, not plastic.
Fill it to the edge of different objects, so that the child has the opportunity to choose what most appeals to him.
Make sure your child is sitting well, if he still fails, help him with pillows so that he does not slip sideways.
The adult should sit close but not to intervene unless the child does not require his attention.
The ideal thing is to change the contents of the basket every day so that attracts more the child.
Check to include articles not dangerous to the child, which can be washed and if they are damaged it is better to replace them.
Be careful if you have older kids! Protect little ones from interventions, sometimes impetuous, of the bigger ones.
