Amelie's Treasures
This business provides sensory treasure baskets for babies,offering a wide range of baskets from £15 to £25 with various sensory products such as pumice srones,metal whisks,wooden rings and pine cones.Babies and toddlers love things which appeal to their senses which is why baskets of interesting shapes and objects provide a wonderful way for them to explore different sounds,textures and tastes.
having been used by childcare professionals for decades as a means of teaching young babies how to select touch,taste and feel,its a simple idea but seems to inspire and encourage little eyes,ears and mouths.The montessori teaching method is largely based on learning through touch taste and sound and has proven that children and babies can really benefit from learning in this way.
Babies of all ages can appreciate the baskets but usually starting from around 3 months will love watching something roll and the noises it makes or from 6-9 months babies will love banging whisks or spoons against something.
TIPS
place the basket close to your baby so they can reach out and explore for themselves
pick a time when they are alert
itys important for you to be close by,as while its fun for babies to explore the baskets are not toys.
check the basket regularly to ensure things are still intact and safe to play with
add and change items in the basket.
My little girl loved playing with the treasure baskets whilst attending yoga,massage and magical moovers at the sure start centres and when i asked them how to get hold of one,they advised me to look on the internet but to beware as they weren't cheap!! i started searching and the ones i found seemed to contain everyday products however were ranging in price from £40-£60,I started shopping round myself and managed to find the products at a fraction of the cost-it was hard work trawling the shops to find the best items but this means i can bring a wonderful range of trweasure baskets at an everyday affordable price.
