Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
A full sheet of paper, a large child-appropriate crayon, and one large familiar toy.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Draw a simple outline of the room and add two landmarks, such as a table and a door.
- Place the toy beside one landmark and mark its place on the drawing.
- Use the map together to find the toy, then switch roles and choose another easy-to-reach place.
Adult chooses a safe uncluttered room and a toy suitable for the child; keep hiding places within easy reach.
