Help me learn about the sounds of things. Ask me to close my eyes. Ring a bell, shake a rattle, or jingle some coins and let me guess what is making the sound. You can rotate your child's toys through the magic closet. You can bring out one thing at a time when your child is sick, or bored on a rainy day, or when you and she need something very special to do.
Children like to rediscover old toys.
A few new toys can be kept in the magic closet, too. Surprises are fun for everyone, and you will enjoy seeing your child playing with her magic closet discoveries.
