Find resources / Activities / Treasure box Activity

It’s an opportunity for parents and whānau to:

• start a collection of treasures for their baby — this is about starting to build a positive relationship

• create something beautiful and meaningful that can be shared with baby when they’re older

• think about what they want to give baby and what they wish for baby.

• Find a suitable container with a lid — maybe a shoe box or empty tin.

• Gather stationery supplies:
  • scissors
  • sticky tape
  • glue
  • coloured paper
  • pens and pencils.

• Collect a range of resources to decorate the container with:
  • stickers
  • felt pens
  • shells or other natural materials.

• If you’re using natural materials, you might also need a hot glue gun.
