Loose Parts Treasure Chest

Create an exciting loose parts treasure chest 💎🗝️
 
What will they find? Encourage children to sort by shape, object, colour or size. Use hands to go digging for treasure and sort whatever they discover, you can encourage the use of tongs as an extra challenge for dexterity and fine motor skills ✍️
 
Encourage children to count out how many items they find, ask them what is the heaviest item and what is the lightest, as they discover all the hidden treasures within. This will keep young minds entertained and curious as they go hunting! 🔍
 
Ideal for individual or collaborative play, children can work together to sort the whole chest, or individually to figure out the hidden discoveries on their own. Using the Gem STEM Kit, buttons, pebbles and counters, we created a colourful and fun treasure chest that would turn anyone into a pirate 🏴☠️
