How it actually goes

⏱ 30-second set-up —
Thirty seconds: put stickers, an old magazine on a tray or a clear bit of floor, 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 —
Touch, shake, sort and compare until it makes sense to them.
✅ 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? Add a blindfold or a guessing round — same thing, harder.
