Baby Play: Velcro Rollers

Edie loves a treasure basket

A box or basket of objects

Chosen for her

To explore

To investigate

To play with

Back in February

I gave Edie a basket of velcro rollers

A basket of treasure indeed!

I then sat back and watched her play

Witnessing for myself the true value

Of a £1 pack of curlers

Edie picked up each pink and black roller in turn

She took each one out of the basket

Examined it

And carefully placed it back in

Edie poked the rollers

Stroked them

Looked at them and through them

Before giving the all important taste test

tasty curlers

The spiky texture is incredibly satisfying

For little fingers to touch and feel

And for little toes!

Edie liked rolling the curlers in her hand

She tried rolling them on the floor

But they stuck to the carpet

Edie found this very funny

And even more so as they all started sticking to each other

sticky stackers

Velcro rollers are great for stacking

You can create colour patterns

Order by size

And make pictures

As well as stacking

The smaller rollers can nest inside the larger ones

Edie loves to post things

Put things in

And take things out
