A friend in need...

D's friend, a 4 year old boy broke his ankle and is in a cast for the rest of the summer! What a bummer!  So D and I put together this pirate sensory tub for this sweet little boy! We got the idea from here.  I love the Counting Coconuts blog and so far, the pirate one is my favorite of all her sensory tubs! What a lucky boy she has!  So here is our tub.

 

D decorated this tub with some pirate stickers.  We filled it up with the following:

• Black beans
• Fake money
• Fake gold coins
• Necklaces
• Rings
• Rubber snakes
• Spiders
• Skeleton
• Some candies
• A wooden boat

We also included

• A pirate Eye mask
• A compass
• A magnifying glass
• A scroll

Here is our scroll...

I made another one for D to play with too!  You should have seen the little boy's eyes light up when he saw these goodies!  Hope he has fun and gets better soon.

March Sensory Tub

Here is our March/Spring sensory tub.  I know we are a little early, but we are ready to be done with winter, hence this one!  I just love how colorful and spring-like this tub is.  Another plus with this one is that my 10 month old can play too and she has been having a blast with her sister.  She can mouth the easter eggs all she wants!  She somehow does not eat the paper just manipulates it with her hands, putting it over her head and generally empties it from the bin!  It is so pleasing that I've been playing with it too!

These are the items that I added to the tub.  I got everything from the dollar store, and spent less than 8 bucks!

• Green Easter Grass
• Half a packet of the colorful Easter Grass
• An easter bucket
• Easter Eggs
• Bunny Egg Dipper
• Some flowers and leaves
• A shovel and a small jug
