During the experience

• Ask your child what they notice about this item? You could prompt with colours, shape, size. Do you notice any similarities or differences?
• Allow your child to have a hands-on approach (where safe of course), to physically pick up and explore the objects.
• Use the opportunity to talk about the item and introduce new ideas, thoughts or concepts. E.g. Do you know what flowers need to grow?

There are endless learning opportunities. Take time to chat to your child and enjoy the time together. See where you end up and let us know how you went in the comment section below. Have fun!
