What is a Treasure Bin?
Put a small amount (5 to 10) of similar items in a basket or bin and set it in front of your growing baby to let him/her explore!
Ensure that the items are safe to babies (no choking hazards or sharp edges) and that your baby is supervised at all times!
We have had this car/truck bin out for a while. Since John has trucks out all the time, May likes having trucks too. We keep her bins under the couch and take them out when she needs to be occupied by something. We included trucks made of wood and plastic, and included big and small, and popper-trucks too. Bins are so simple to make and yet she has such a fun time with them!
My first post about Treasure Bins is here.

The term “treasure bin” is so cute! I have a basket of randoms for my little guy- never thought to do a theme. Will have to do!
Thanks Kristina, we also have been doing simple, little baskets with just a few blocks here or there — I hope you’ll post some pics :) -Amy
