This activity is featured on our instagram where we provide a daily tip to keep playtime fresh, fun, and full of learning moments.

What you need:

1. A box with a whole cut out of the top OR a bowl or bin with a towel or blanket.

2. Various toys or household items that are child-safe.

How to play:

• Secretly gather a few items (a TV remote, a toy, a spoon) and tuck them away out of sight.

• Take one of the items and hide it inside the box or bin. The idea with the hole in the box or with using a towel is that your child can reach their hand inside and feel the object WITHOUT seeing it.

• Let them guess what’s inside

Tips for playing:

• Introduce new toys and activities this way. Let your child feel inside the box and guess what it is before they pull it out to play.

If you have time:

• Play this game as a family by taking turns finding items to “hide” in the box. Parents can be the guesser, too!
