No special materials needed. Just easy, playful games you can start right away with toys already in your home.
Timer or phone stopwatch
Set a timer and challenge your child to pick up as many items as they can before it goes off. Count together at the end!
Use a longer timer and focus on just one type of toy.
Have them sort items into labeled bins while racing the clock.
Celebrate the effort, not just the number. 'You picked up 12 things — that's amazing focus!'
