Winter Wheat Sensory Tub

The sensory tubs have been a HUGE hit with both kids. This tub is filled with Red Hard Winter Wheat and it has a great texture. On St. Patrick's Day we hid gold coins to find, and another day we hid small plastic insects. What the kids have enjoy most though is simply scooping and pouring. I love when I find activities that they both enjoy playing together.

We have been using an under-the-bed plastic storage box. This gives them both enough room to play. The box is the right size to put onto our plastic picnic table, so that on warm days we can take the sensory tub outside. Fresh air & less mess to clean up....can't argue with that!

Spring Sensory Tub

Our spring themed sensory tub has lots of silk flowers & leaves, pinecones, and a variety of insects and butterflies. My daughter (22 months) loves to hide the insects under the leaves and then acts surprised when she find them. It's quite entertaining, for both of us!
We have begun to talk about colors and she can find something that is red, green, blue, or yellow. Of course she has to name every item that she finds that is pink...and lucky for me there are about a hundred pink flowers to keep her busy!
