They sound difficult to organise and fiddly and time consuming. They aren't. And babies love them.
Essentially, the idea is to fill a basket with everyday items (baby safe items, of course) from around the house or garden and make it accessible to bub in their play area. That's it. And my bub absolutely adores her basket. It is the go to play thing above so many other toys (that cost us a lot more than the contents of that basket). I would say they are better for a baby six months or older who can sit up and grasp objects easily. And make sure the basket is light weight and baby safe too as babies are often attracted to this as a toy as well.
Mix up objects from across different themes or have a specific theme in one basket.
Here are my top SEVEN discovery baskets:
