Product Description
Deep Round Basket
Panier
A sturdy willow basket ideal for storing activities, especially taller items.
Why not create a treasure basket for heuristic play by adding a selection of items from those listed below - you can find a selection in the related items below:
Egg Cup
Wooden spoon
Woollen pompoms
Range of boxes that will slot inside each other
Sponge
Tubes which will slide inside each other (inside of foil tubes, kitchen rolls, cling films etc)
Strips of materials with different textures
Items with slots or holes (spatulas, rings)
Jar tops
Shells
Corks
Hair rollers of different sizes
Chains of various sizes and shapes
Variety of tins (with safe tops) such as golden syrup tins, biscuit tins
The items should be selected for their sensory properties, so natural materials are preferable. Smooth plastic, which gives very little sensory feedback, should be avoided.
A word on health and safety
Obviously as a practitioner you are not going to place your children in harm’s way. Some of these objects may be considered to be potentially dangerous, particularly for babies who are still putting things in their mouths. You know your children and what you would be happy for them to experience. You know which ones will always chew first, ask questions later, or see any object as a weapon! This is entirely at your discretion.
Items should be cleaned regularly and thrown away if broken or considered dangerous.
These are real objects and have not been designed as toys, please always assess the risks of using these items.
