Activity: Treasure basket
Aims of the activity:
The aim of this activity is to work on the toddlers independent playing skills and to also develop
their fine motor skills. This activity links to sensory play and sensory activities stimulates the
toddler’s senses such as their touch, smell, taste, sight and movement. Sensory play also
supports language development and cognitive growth.
What are the desired learning outcomes for the activity? (Link to EYFS)
Age: 16-26 months – Expected stages of communication and language development:
“Understands simple sentences.” (Early education, 2012, p.17)
“Selects familiar objects by name and will go and find objects when asked, or identify
objects from a group.” (Early education, 2012, p.17)
“Rigid attention – may appear not to hear.” (Early education, 2012, p.15)
What skills will the children develop when undertaking the activity?
The children will develop their fine motor skills and their problem solving skills. I will be
encouraging the toddlers to have a feel in the treasure basket and I will be telling them to touch
the items in the basket and take them out. This activity may also help them with their
imaginative skills and their social skills as they may interact with their peers.
What new vocabulary will the children learn while undertaking the activity?
The toddlers may learn the names of some of the items inside the treasure basket.
Furthermore, they may listen to what I am saying to them and try to repeat the words after me.
E.g. basket, ball, puzzle.
Less confident/able children:
I will encourage them to take part in the activity by asking them to put their hand in the
treasure basket and to pick out one item. If they still don’t feel confident to do it by themselves,
I will then give them a hand and help them.
More confident/able children:
While they are taking part of the sensory activity I will ask them to pick out more than one item.
I will also ask them to pick out a specific item to see how good their listening skills are. This will
show me that they know what to do and they are confident in doing the task.
I think that this activity is suitable for toddlers because it isn’t too complicated which means
that they don’t have to think so much while taking part in the activity. Furthermore, this activity
has a few benefits as it helps develop the children’s fine motor skills and it is good for their
language and communication development as they may socialize with their peers.
Group size: Four – six children
