Homemade - Sea Shells I-Spy Bottle
Ideas for "Treasure"
- Summer erasers
- Small plastic animals/objects
- Foam cutouts {letters, animals, shapes, etc.}
- Shape buttons
- Colorful craft pom poms in various sizes
With these safely hidden, consider providing your kiddos with a reusable checklist {i.e. a laminated list that can be used with dry erase markers} so that they can keep track of the items they've already found as well as the items they should be searching for. Have them complete the activity with variations. For example, you might invite your kiddos to search for the items in alphabetical order or identify the beginning sound of the found item and name another object/word with the same sound, etc.
