Home Spun Fun: Big Box Scavenger Hunt

My Hubs got some new gear in the mail, and I knew the massive peanut-filled box it was delivered in would be ripe for the toddler pickin’.

I first filled the box with objects she could fill with the peanuts.  Then I cut shapes out of foam, sticker-backed paper and threw those in.  When she found a shape, she’d peel off the back and then stick the shape on the box.  This let us talk about colors and shapes and – best of all – it kept us busy for a good thirty minutes!  That deserves a whoop whoop!
