Discovery Baskets for Baby

One thing about babies is that they still have to learn so much! Their brains have to make their own files of objects and experiences and through discovery baskets one can help them “sort” some information.

Here are just a few examples of baskets, but you can make a whole lot more, just think basics. According to basic colours, shapes, textures etc.
The idea is for baby to explore, so be careful not add small stuff that might be swallowed or objects that can hurt gums when exploring by mouth. An older baby will enjoy packing out the basket, and you can even start introducing “pack away time” after playing by singing a song while packing back.
And as always supervise, all the while talking to baby about what he experiences, developing some early language skills.
A while ago I mentioned these discovery bottles/balls. Also nice for baby and even toddlers, only thing is it is only for looking, no touching, because of the small parts.
