Sadie has been watching way too much TV, but it's just too darn hot & muggy to go to the park. So I pulled this little activity together for her. A container full of beans (food storage, of course), little objects to hide (pencil, paper clip, button, little toys), stacking cups or measuring cups & a spoon.
She's been hiding & finding the little objects & scooping up beans in her measuring cup. This could be done with rice as well. You will end up with some beans or rice on your floor, but it's worth it.

Sensory bins! I knew there was a real name for these things.
Thank you teacher Michelle.
Dude! My mom used to do stuff like that all the time. She would put stuff like cornmeal (I think?) on cookie sheets and put us out on the lawn so it wouldn't make a mess. We would make roads for cars and other cool stuff. Those are great memories. My mom was cool like that and so are you!
Wow, I thought my Mom was the best! That is totally like a mini Archaeological dig! So RADICAL!!!
Thanks for the idea!!!
