Playscope 4 Parents £55

As well as items being picked with safety and sensory variety in mind, the selection reflects the environmental and ethical ethos of this product as many of the objects are locally sourced or made by adults with learning difficulties. A useful list with safety guidelines helps parents to supplement the basket with easy to find items like a wooden spoon, teaspoon, nailbrush, bath plug etc. This way the basket will soon be brimming with a rich range of exciting objects.

• An 11 inch version of our organic Norfolk Willow Treasure Basket that’s easier to store in the home.
• 20 richly sensory objects - many handmade and environmentally friendly. The selection is based on providing a good mix of objects that are harder to find or more expensive. Each set includes some handmade objects and some unique items made by adults with learning difficulties, e.g. a pottery pebble and purse.
• hand stitched gingham cover available in three colours - lemon, lilac or blue. This helps keep the objects in one place and dust free. It can be embroidered as an optional extra to make a wonderful gift for a special child.
• supporting guidance setting out the benefits of play with Treasure Baskets; links to the curriculum; developmental milestones; things to observe; and a list of items and safety guidance to help parents/carers supplement the contents with easy to find objects.
