About this play
Hiding small toys, pom-poms, or puzzle pieces in a bin of dry oats or shredded paper turns a simple sensory bin into a proper archaeological dig. Digging with hands or a spoon to uncover each treasure builds fine-motor strength, patience, and the thrill of a hidden find.
How to do it (Step by step)
- Fill a shallow bin with oats or shredded paper.
- Bury a handful of small toys or pom-poms inside.
- Let your toddler dig them out with their hands or a spoon.
