A little plan for play
Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
A basket and a few clean, sealed food packages chosen by an adult.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Place the basket and two or three suitable packages on a stable table.
- Invite your child to choose a package and describe its color or shape before placing it in the basket.
- Count the packages together and talk about people who grow or prepare food.
Adult checks packages for damage and allergens, handles heavy or sharp-edged containers, and stays beside the child; do not open packages during play.
