Life imitates Art.
Our play room sometimes imitates the Where’s Wally (Waldo) book!
Utterly messy, jumbled up and chaotic!
Imagine a sensory bin that was only supposed to have coffee beans, now has magnetic alphabets, cotton buds, UNO cards, cars, pencils, bottle caps, dice, and COINS?
Perfect to play a Where’s Wally game! Take a picture of the select few items to be hunted before tossing them back in the mess. I put some Wally (Waldo) stickers we had on coins and tossed them in too. Don't forget to set the timer before you yell "go!"
Round two: Put the Wally stickers on coins & made sure the items in the picture are in rows, so my 5 year old could mentally 'tick them off'.
If toys are scattered all over the place, take individual pictures and put then all in one album! Kids can tick the ‘heart’ on each picture once found. Here's my screenshot:
