This is quite informative Heuristic Play Part I - The Treasure Basket | Little Acorns to Mighty Oaks (http://www.littleacornstomightyoaks.co.uk/Articles/Treasure_basket)
You can buy ready made baskets but it is much cheaper and better to make your own. You can add to it over time.
Mine is in a woven basket with various things in it :- small cotton drawstring bag, natural sponge, piece of loofah, wooden Welsh love spoon (because I am in Wales:)),wooden soap rack, wooden scoop, mirror, wooden nail brush, metal speen with holes, raffia drawstring bag, silk scrunchie, fluffy scrunchie, large pebbles, large shells, small bags with lavender, cloves and star anise, wooden egg shaker, half a coconut, metal tea strainer, furry teddie book mark etc.
You can do themed baskets, colours, metal, wood, winter, summer etc:thumbsup:. You could put them in boxes, wooden trays, bowls anything you have to hand
