What you need 

  • Boxes with lids, like take away containers 
  • Toys and objects that your toddler will find interesting 

What to do 

  • Place the toys or objects inside the boxes.  
  • Show your toddler that there is something in each box and then put the lids on. 
  • Encourage them to take the lids off and explore the contents of the boxes. If they become frustrated, pull the lid off slightly to help them.
  • Turn this into a game and show your toddler that they can hide things in the boxes themselves. 
  • Encourage them to put lids back on the boxes they have hidden toys in.
