Counting flowers basket!

I created this cute basket and the flowers to fill it for a fun little game for toddlers to learn colors and to how to count them. Little did I realize it would be a huge hit with Olivia, my 2 year old!

She absolutely loves picking out each flower and saying the color, then counting them as she puts them back in the basket. We have found many different ways to play with it and she has not gotten bored with carrying it around and sharing her flowers with all of us.





The basket is approx. 8"h with handles and each flower is 3" in diameter.There are 8 flowers total...white, green, yellow, orange, blue, pink, purple, and red.this basket is a soft tan with white, pink, purple, and yellow stripes.


You can create any kind of game or learning activity for your own tot using this. With no small pieces like buttons, beads, ect... it is also safe for smaller children.


I am in the process of making one that would be more fun for little boys, like instead of flowers maybe shapes or just circles.


I do have this particular one listed on my Etsy shop for those of you that are interested!
