One of the ideas I saw a lot online is the idea of baby treasure baskets. The idea is that for heuristic play, fill a basket with items around the house and let the baby explore it. I was especially inspired by the baskets posted at The Imagination Tree.
So, I gathered some pieces of fabric in all different textures from around the house. I ended up with:
- a washcloth
- a piece of felt
- a silk scarf
- a basket-weave cloth napkin
- a handkerchief
- a minky burp cloth
- a piece of netting
Will could sit for a very long time and go through the bag, pulling each piece out, feeling it, tasting it, playing peek-a-boo with it...lots of fun for something different and free to engage that little baby brain!
