Look, a Nook!
Make a Quiet Box
Create a cozy nook for your child
- Turn a large box on its side and place a soft blanket and/or pillows inside.
- String some lights in the top of the box or cut a little hole to peek through.
- Once your new zen place is all set up, add some picture books so you can cozy up inside and read your favorite stories.
Why Play This Way?
We often think of play as rough and tumble, but in this busy world, box play can lend itself very nicely to a quiet and cozy experience. Quiet play in a box helps to self-soothe and slow down. You can use a simple box to create a cozy nook for your child that becomes a safe little world away from all of the hustle & bustle and potentially overwhelming stimuli.
