The activities to be offered to children using simple products, such as those of nature, are many. The only limit is your imagination!

Here are a couple of them, proposed by two mothers who are not lacking in imagination!

The Frozen “Seek And Find” 

Do you already know this game?

All you need is:
– a container ( in this case our shell sandbox was used )
– objects and games
– tools for discovery (plastic cutlery, ladles …)

Freeze the objects and toys in the container for about ten hours. After ten hours, take the products out of the freezer and make them available to your little girl or boy.

Let the children experiment in their own way: with their little hands they will heat the ice, they will experience the sensation of cold and wet to the touch and they will still try in every way to take back their “objects”.

Ice is a stimulating and fun element that will relieve the heat and stimulate the imagination!

For this creative and refreshing idea we have to thank  @ dada.giulia  

A bath with scented petals for children from 12 months

The activity of exploring fragrant petals and leaves is one of the most loved by the little ones.
In summer, then, it is a perfect help to cope with the heat, without losing sight of important objectives, such as the conquest of autonomy .

Just collect leaves, flowers, aromatic plants and immerse them in water with your baby. Also in this case, our shell sandbox was used as a container .

It is an activity that allows you to stimulate all the senses at the same time: the tactile sensation of the petals under the water, the scent they emanate, the sound of the water hitting the walls of the sandbox or under the curious little hands of the little ones, the optical effect that the colors combined with water give and still the taste, if edible plants and flowers are used.

There are no particular rules for carrying out the activity. What is important is to give the child the right time, the slow pace, which allows him to explore and learn.

As it suggests @stelle_frittelle, who shared this activity with us, the next morning this water can be used for washing, to clean their home or can be given as a gift to our loved ones.
