My daughter has never been much interested in sensory boxes, but as I looked at our Arctic habitat, I thought it might be fun to turn it into a sensory box.

turned into this
What's Inside:
white Duplo - icebergs
blue pompoms - the Arctic ocean
contents of Arctic Toob
sparkly pompoms - snowflakes
white packing peanuts - snow
clear flat marbles (at the bottom) - ice
I made it yesterday and it got played with by both kids yesterday and today. Maybe Bear is finally into sensory boxes? We'll see. I have an idea for one to go with our upcoming frog theme.
What a great sensory box! I think I need to invest in some of those toobs for our home...
ReplyDeleteThis is great! My kids would love this!
ReplyDeleteCute! I am getting ready to make my first sensory boxes for my little darlings. They need something to occupy them while I cook dinner. Too many incidents of them coloring on the appliances, walls, and TV lately! ;o)
ReplyDeleteI love the animals included in your sensory tub, I need to get my hands on some artic animals :)
ReplyDeleteThe box looks like fun. My main concern about these sensory beans is seeing their contents carried all over the house - my daughter is such a hunter-gatherer...
ReplyDeletefun we made a habitat discovery arctic too here is ours http://lettersnumbersandbooksohmy.blogspot.com/2011/01/new-feature-habitat-discovery-arctic.html
ReplyDeleteWe have done some simple sensory tubs, my daughter loves them. We only had one bad experience with rice which she threw all over the place. Oh wait, that also happened with the pom poms but that was when she was pretty young.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your frog theme, sounds like fun.
This looks like a fun sensory box. the items you included are great! I've linked up to your post on my weekly favorites here: http://play2grow.blogspot.com/2011/01/weekly-favorites-for-january-9-2011.html
