English term or phrase: Jack-in-the-box
Safe in the arms of one who cares for them, they can confidently turn the handle on a * jack-in-the-box, * roll a ball with sparkling shapes inside it, or investigate other intriguing objects. This sense of wonder and excitement about the world can permeate a child’s approach to learning far into the future.
