I stumbled across Treasure Baskets while reading a blog and thought it was a good way to keep my little one busy.

I added a sachet pillow; three walnuts; a paper bag; two wooden peg dolls; a ribbon; some rainbow colored felts; a rock; a stick; foil; a leather coaster; toilet paper roll; a piece of green wool yarn; a spice jar full of buttons and tiny paper flowers; wax paper; and I just added some cotton balls. It’s like a sensory table in a basket. To keep it interesting, I only give it to her once in a while and I will probably have to change out the items soon, InshaALLAH.

Apparently, this works with older kids too. 😉
