Treasure Hunt for Tiny Hands

How it works

1. 1

   First, let's get your child comfortable. Place your child on they back or in a supported sitting position. Show your child one of the soft fabric squares. Gently brush it against they palm and fingers to spark curiosity. Say, 'Look your child, something soft!'

2. 2

   Now, place a soft, easy-to-grasp object like a rattle or silicone spoon in your child's palm. Gently wrap they fingers around it and say, 'Hold this treasure!' Keep your hand lightly over theys to provide support if needed.

3. 3

   Next, hold another object like a soft block just within your child's reach. Wiggle it playfully and say, 'Can you grab this treasure?' Encourage your child to reach and grasp it independently.

4. 4

   Now, let's make it a mini treasure hunt. Place a few objects in a shallow container or on a tray in front of your child. Say, 'Look at all the treasures! Can you pick one up?'
