Treasure Hunt: For ages 3-10. Another good one to have on hand for a birthday party, for a weekend with friends over, or for the whole family. This bag is full of riddles that can be solved both inside and outside – each square has a description rather than something specific, that they need to figure out and solve.

The great thing about these Little Bags is that every time you reach into your bag and pull something out, it’s a surprise! Through using these bags and the activity prompts they contain, your child will be using their own creativity and imagination and developing all sorts of new skills. They will develop their communication and problem-solving skills, they will build confidence through making choices and even develop leadership and cooperation skills. They are also suitable for a wide range of ages, making them useful for the growing child but also a family with several siblings. These kinds of educational toys are fantastic to have in the house for those moments when your kids just need a little prompting, and away they go – into the world of play and learning, developing as they go.
