Where Is It?

Toddler Playtime

As you play with your child, take a toy or safe object and hide it as they watch you. Ask them, “Where is it?” and let them find it. Then ask them if they can hide it and you find it. Create a cheer to use when each of you finds the toy and keep taking turns.

When your child watches you hide their toy and then finds it, they’re focusing and using their memory. When they hide the toy, they’re imagining about how you might think so they can find a tricky hiding place. These skills are important in learning.
