Rice Sensory Tub

c
I though for sure that my kids would last longer scooping rice...they only lasted about 10 minutes. I had to come up with a new plan...so I emptied what was left of our sand box and poured the rice in there and WA LA they lasted for about 30 minutes more (don't have a picture).

Sensory Tub- Ice cubes

I got these star ice cubes from the Target $ section and put them in the freezer. Once they were frozen I put them in the Sensory Tub and they sorted them in ice cube trays.

Sensory Tub-Cereal

Sensory Tub- I tried another sensory tub, this time I used cereal that the kids haven't been eating. It was pretty funny because they ended up eating it. It was ok because it wasn't old, it just wasn't their choice for the morning. After they got full they continued pouring and scooping.!")

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
