Bucket of memories

The toddler activity:
Doesn't it seem like toddlers love to play with everything that's not a toy? Their sheer curiosity often allows for easy access to all sorts of interesting play objects. Here, we offer a great outdoor activity with that in mind.

Head outside with your toddler and a basket, bucket or even a wagon. Go to a local park, open space, or even your own yard, and look for interesting objects found in nature. Sticks, leaves, rocks and pinecones are all great finds. Have your toddler pick them up and put them into the container.

When you're done and back home, look through what you found on your walk, and say the name of each item. This is a great vocabulary-building activity for your little one.

Variations:
If you live near the water, this could be a great beach activity.
