Instructions:
- Crush crackers into coarse crumbs and spread them in a shallow tray or bin.
- Add animal toys and invite your child to create a scene—digging, stomping, or building with the crumbs.
- Encourage storytelling: “What animals live here?” “What are they doing?”
- Let them explore freely—pushing crumbs, scooping, or even sneaking a taste if they’re curious.
Tips:
- Use milder, familiar crackers for kids who are cautious with textures.
- Model play to get things started—make animal sounds, build a “nest,” or dig a burrow.
- Add sensory tools like scoops or brushes to expand the play.
- Great for kids who aren’t ready to eat new foods but benefit from tactile interaction.
- Clean toys with a damp cloth before and after if they’ll be reused.
