Gather a few things
A large stuffed animal and a lightweight open basket.
Let’s play
- Place Teddy in the basket and say, Teddy is in.
- Move Teddy out and describe the change.
- Offer your toddler a turn moving Teddy.
- Try beside the basket, then give Teddy a cuddle.
A little learning to notice
Follow your child’s action with one short sentence about where Teddy is.
Keep a little memory
Write down a new word, gesture, or silly hiding place you noticed.
Make it work for your child
Use just in and out at first. Gestures and watching count as participation.
