• Stuffed animals 

Step 1:  Hide one of your toddler’s favorite stuffed animals (under a blanket, behind a chair, under a table, etc.) while your toddler is watching. Say a little rhyme each time you hide one of the animals. 

“Where is your little fuzzy bear? 

He’s hiding from you and me. 

Let’s see if we can find him. 

Quickly, 1-2-3.” 

Step 2:  Go with your child to the place that the stuffed animal was hidden and pull it out with excitement.  

Step 3:  Take turns. Ask your toddler to hide a toy. Say the rhyme and then go with her to find the toy she just hid.  

Step 4:  Continue the game with the same stuffed animal or with other toys as long as your toddler remains interested.
