A young girl crouches and holds a stuffed whale toy on a playground.

Grab a toy such as a ball or a stuffed animal and head to the playground! Hide the toy in different places on the playground, like on top of the slide or below a swing. While you are hiding it, ask your child to cover their eyes so they cannot see where you put it. Then, give hints about the toy’s location by using words such as over, under, near, and next to. Then, play again, only this time have your child do the hiding!

Not outside? Try this activity inside, hiding the toy in different places in a room!
