Treasure Baskets

A Treasure Basket gives babies a rich and stimulating start to their lives. An idea conceived over thirty years ago, it is a low, rigid sided basket into which natural and household objects are placed and available to your child for play.

Each Treasure Basket has the same purpose - to offer experiences which use all five senses:

Touch, Smell, Taste, Sound, Sight

Babies learn from the Treasure Basket by looking, touching, sucking, licking, banging, picking up and dropping. It gives babies the chance to explore and decide for themselves what they want to play with, giving babies a wide range of experiences that help the brain to make connections and develop – and help keep babies happy!

Some parents and child carers don’t feel they have the time or knowledge to create a Treasure Basket themselves. Contented Child Treasure Baskets have been created to act as a starting point to help parents and carers create their own personal Treasure Basket.
