By Dr. Rajeev Tamhankar

The Spatial Activity: Ocean Craft and Treasure Hunt combines creativity and exploration to enhance spatial awareness and problem-solving skills. Children create ocean-themed crafts and participate in a fun treasure hunt, fostering imaginative play while improving cognitive and motor skills.

  1. Ocean Craft Creation:
    • Provide your child with materials to make ocean-themed crafts, such as fish, sea turtles, or coral.
    • Guide them to cut, paint, or decorate using the materials provided.
    • Display the crafts as part of the ocean setup.
  2. Setting Up the Treasure Hunt:
    • Hide small objects (e.g., shells, coins, or jewels) around the play area.
    • Create a simple map or provide verbal clues to guide your child in finding the treasures.
    • Incorporate directional hints like “next to the blue coral” or “behind the sea turtle craft.”
  3. Play and Explore:
    • Encourage your child to explore the area, solve clues, and collect the treasures.
    • Once all treasures are found, celebrate with a small reward or group activity.
