Animal Rescue – Bin Edition

This activity is so fun for children and so easy to set up!

To recreate this activity all you need is:

tape
animal figurines
a medium-sized bin (we used the Ikea TROFAST bin)

Put the animal figurines inside the bin and add pieces of tape as you see in the picture.

Adjust the level of difficulty according to the child’s age and skill level.

Demonstrate first by rescuing one animal and invite the child to do the same after you’ve demonstrated.

Besides being fun for toddlers, this activity also helps strengthen fine motor skills, hand-eye and bilateral coordination, problem-solving skills and develop concentration.

Cleaning up is part of the learning process, so make sure to encourage your child to tidy up after they finish playing. Model how to do it until your child feels confident enough to initiate the tidying up process independently.

Bringing play to life:

For older children, how about discussing the reasons behind an animal rescue? Why do some animals need being rescued? What can we do to help animals?
How about visiting or helping a local animal shelter or a wildlife sanctuary?
