How it actually goes
- โฑ 30-second set-up โ
- Thirty seconds: put a bag on the step or the grass, and sit down next to it before you call them over.
- ๐ง What you do โ
- Show it once, slowly, without talking over yourself. Then hand it over and stop helping unless they ask.
- ๐ถ What they do โ
- Collect, look closely, and ask the questions.
- โ What success looks like โ
- At 2โ3 they'll do it their own way, not yours, and stop after five minutes. Both of those are fine.
- ๐งบ How to put it away โ
- Everything back into one basket or tray, carried back to its spot by them. Naming the spot out loud is what makes it stick.
- ๐ When they outgrow it โ
- Older? Look one of the finds up in a book together afterwards.
