Caden is currently 30 months
Not much has gone on this week with Tot School, but we are looking forward to a new week and will be discussing Bubbles! Thank you so much Tara for sharing the ideas about the Sensory Tubs. I have the same issues as I am sure every Mom has when we are cooking dinner...the kids all of the sudden don't want to play with their toys...you don't want to resort to turning on the TV and they want to be in the kitchen and tend to be very fussy. So today I tried making a Sensory Tub with my son Caden. He practiced cutting and by the way he loved cutting straws. Then when it was time for dinner I put the wagon of straws out with measuring cups and a muffin pan so they could transfer the straws from one thing to the next. Ya, they were occupied for at least 30 minutes for me to put dinner in the oven. It was kind of a mess to clean up but I didn't care, as long as I could get dinner ready. Next time I may put something underneath them when they play for an easier clean up. Thanks again Tara

This is a great idea. We did a lot of sensory tub things during winter, but with the warmer weather I've kind of forgotten about them. It's a great idea for when it's time to make dinner - I'll try it this afternoon for sure! Thanks!
It's nice to meet you via Tot School. I liked the idea of a sensory tub with straws - I have to try it. I wonder if they can be cut with plastic scissors - that's what we have here. I also liked your blog and how you plan a week around a book. I am just starting to get into themes, but we usually go through about 10 books a week :)
I am so glad that they had fun and it made cooking dinner a little easier for you.
YEAH!
