Our Trays: Letter B Theme

by Nadia on September 7, 2011

Our Letter B Themed Trays
Here is a closer look:

Bird 3 and 4 piece puzzle for my toddler Aaliya.

Matching the right colored bear to the pattern.

I hid some small dragonflies(bugs) in the sensory pom pom tub.

Feed the frog the flies.
I printed this from online but I cant find the URL (my printer seems to have faded that part out)

Bus puzzle for my preschooler.
This is the first Melissa and Doug item that I have been really disappointed in. The puzzle pieces were so hard to get apart and the backs kept ripping. I am now very hesitant to buy any more Melissa & Doug puzzles.

Deen set this tray out himself. He said he would like to transfer the beans from two big bowls.

Add the right amount of ladybugs to each of the leaves.

Bugs Themed Sensory Bin

by Nadia on September 6, 2011

in Sensory Bins

Our theme this week was bugs so I set out a Bugs themed sensory bin. I have been collecting different types of bugs for a while in order to use them for our sensory bin.
I died rice green to make grass. (I need to find a better way of coloring rice in bulk.)
I added some big ladybugs as well as some small ladybugs.
I placed some butterflies and some dragonflies around the bin as well as on the tree.
I put in some cups for scooping, pouring, and sorting.

Aaliya used the bugs sensory bin in many waysShe felt the rice and bugs with her feet.
She pushed the cups under the rice and hid some of the bugs.

She did some sorting by placing all the baby(small) ladybugs in a cup.
