Toddler activities with a basket

A basket, whether it is the laundry one or a small wicker one, turns almost anything into a game. Fill it with textured fabrics to explore, use it as the target for a sock toss, carry it from room to room on a delivery round. The activities here all use a basket as their centre and range from calm sorting to properly energetic fetching. They are good for tidying-up habits too, since a toddler who has spent ten minutes filling a basket is oddly willing to keep going. Steps and skills below.
