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.

Once you got a good basket of treasures for your infant child, please feel free to share your experiences in our forum section.
