How it works
- 1
First, let's hide our treasures! Take 3-5 small items and hide them around the room while your child covers their eyes. Make sure they're partially visible - peeking from under the blanket, behind a chair leg, or next to a pillow. Ready? you, tell your child to open their eyes and say: 'I've hidden treasures for you! Let's find them together. What should we look for first?'

Great! Now your child has found the first treasure. you, hold up the found item and say: 'You found it! What should we look for next? And how will you remember where you've already checked?'

Wonderful! you, as your child searches for the last treasure, say: 'You're getting close! I see you thinking hard. What are you saying to yourself to help find it?'

Perfect! you, after all treasures are found, say: 'You found them all! How did talking through your search help you? What did you say to yourself that was most helpful?'
