A flashlight and a clear, familiar room.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Choose a familiar object in the room, such as a cushion, and give a simple clue about it.
- Invite your child to point to the object. Adult shines the flashlight spot nearby to reveal it.
- Take turns choosing another visible object or a shape to find. Put the flashlight away afterward.
Adult handles the flashlight, keeps the room lit enough to move safely, and never points the light at eyes. Stay beside the child and keep objects in place.
