Treasure Baskets can be used with babies from the time that they can sit unaided to around 16-18 months, during this phase the primary question a baby would ask if they could talk would be ‘What is the object like?’. The Treasure Basket is a ridged low sided round basket filled with ‘objects’ from the ‘real world’ these ‘objects’ are made from any material but plastic, and come from a variety of sources in nature and the around the house. It is through handling and exploring these objects that a baby develops contact with the outside world, and begins to make their own choices and decisions.
