Hide and find a favourite object

Parent hides a favourite object of the child's in easy places and invites the child to find it. Age-appropriate object permanence and joint problem-solving. Agent coaches the parent to scaffold rather than reveal, with visible delight at discovery.

Free to do together whenever you like.

What you'll need
