How it works

Let's start our treasure hunt! Look around your outdoor space together. Find three different natural items to put in your basket. They could be leaves, sticks, stones, flowers, or anything else from nature.

Now let's explore our treasures! Take out one item from your basket. Ask your child: 'What can you tell me about this treasure?' Listen to how they describe it.

Let's play a sorting game with our treasures. Ask your child: 'Can you find all the items that are rough?' or 'Can you find all the green items?' Choose one category that fits your treasures.
