A friend of mine sent me this link after she mentioned she was making her son a "treasure box". I was curious about it. Basically, you get a shallow basket or box and you fill it with everyday things of different materials and you let your baby explore and play with the items in the box. It's things like keys, wooden spoons, fabric, bells, etc. They provide sensory play.

I thought it was such a cool idea! I think C would absolutely LOVE one, so I'm going to start collecting small items and putting together one for her to explore.

Has anyone else done this? What's in your treasure box?
