How it actually goes
- ⏱ 30-second set-up —
- Thirty seconds: put a bag on the step or the grass, and sit down next to it before you call them over.
- 🧑 What you do —
- Show it once, slowly, without talking over yourself. Then hand it over and stop helping unless they ask.
- 👶 What they do —
- Collect, look closely, and ask the questions.
- ✅ What success looks like —
- At 1–2 they'll tip it out and put nothing back. That's the work — emptying comes long before filling.
- 🧺 How to put it away —
- Everything back into one basket or tray, carried back to its spot by them. Naming the spot out loud is what makes it stick.
- 📈 When they outgrow it —
- Older? Look one of the finds up in a book together afterwards.
