Dear Parents,
Have you ever noticed how your child gets a brand-new toy but ends up playing with the box instead? Let’s turn this curiosity into a fun experiment and see if everyday household items are more exciting than store-bought toys!
The Experiment
Method 1: The Mystery Pick!
- Place one toy and one household item in front of your child.
- Let them choose which one they want to play with.
- Repeat with different pairs and observe their choices.
Method 2: The Treasure Hunt!
- Hide a mix of toys and household items in a box or under a blanket.
- Let your child pick one at a time—watch what excites them the most!
Method 3: Role Reversal Play!
- Hand your child a toy and start playing with the household item yourself.
- Pretend the spoon is a phone, or the box is a spaceship—see if they join in!
Making It Fun!
Join the play! Pretend the container is a drum, the spoon is a microphone, or the cardboard box is a car.
Observe & learn! See how creative your child gets with simple items.
Capture the Moments! Take videos or pictures of your child’s most interesting choices.
Why This Works?
Give it a try and let the magic unfold.
