Activity of the day

Rainbow Jelly Treasure Hunt

Perfect for tactile exploration and a little messy play (because let's face it, that's half the fun).

What you’ll need:

• Colorful jelly or Jello mix

• A big plastic bin or container

• Little toys or objects for a mini scavenger hunt

• Water for the jelly

Step-by-step process:

1. Whip up the jelly using your favorite colors.

2. Chop it into wobbly pieces and pop them into your bin.

3. Hide the toys inside for your little explorers to find.

4. Watch the fun unfold as they dig through the jelly.

Pro tip:

For the toddlers that are a bit older, you can create clues and then let them guess before digging in and finding that “treasure”.

As we end our day of jiggly, joyful play, let's cherish these shared giggles and squishy hugs. It's activities like these that remind us of the simple joys of parenthood – the fun, the mess, and the beautiful chaos.
