This is a great lesson! I see active listening, a little fine motor practice and of course the intentional lesson of the positional words. I could see this useful in teaching colors too, by putting counting bears or beads in the box and asking them to select a specific color. I love a good multi functional lesson. Now I am so happy that I saved all of my Allure subscription boxes!

This seems like it would also be a good way to help children practice attentive listening. If they can take an item out, put it next to, on top of, under, in front of, and inside the box with an object - they should begin to feel competent about understanding and following instructions.
