About this play
Scale the classic posting box right up: a large cardboard box with a few hand-sized holes cut into it turns posting into a full-body activity. Dropping in balls, blocks, and soft toys builds the same hand-eye precision as the smaller version, with the added satisfaction of a bigger reach and a bigger clatter.
How to do it (Step by step)
- Cut two or three hand-sized holes into a large cardboard box.
- Gather a mix of balls, blocks, and soft toys.
- Let your toddler post items in, then tip the box to start again.
