Since our harvest sensory tub ended up being used only outdoors (note: straw is MESSY!), I decided to put together a second tub for James to use indoors.
This fun tub is all about bath time and it was a HUGE hit with James!Here's what's inside:
:: Cotton balls (aka bubbles)
:: Blue pom-poms
:: Scented bar of soap (this smells sooo good!)
:: Clear plastic crystals
:: Large, blue glass stones
:: Glass baby food jar (for collecting and pouring)
:: A little rubber duckie :)
:: Alphabet beads
:: Fish-shaped bath mat (the suction cups hold the beads perfectly)
:: Tweezers (to transfer the beads to the mat)
~Thank you for your comments!~
This is very cute! Where did you find the fish shape bath mat...and how big is it?

How fun is that?!! Wow! : )
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest sensory tub I have ever seen!
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome! I'll have to do this sometime soon!
ReplyDeleteLove this one! It is so cute! I was thinking about doing a snowflake sensory bin in Jan/Feb with my kiddos and was thinking of using cotton balls. I was wondering how the cotton balls would work out, so I am so glad to see it with your bath time sensory!
ReplyDeleteYou did it again, Mari-Ann! Awesome sensory tub! The tweezers/suction cup transferring is always popular and great for coordination. How great that in addition to this sensory tub’s wonderful and soothing sensorial attributes, it has language and practical life possibilities as well!http://LivingMontessoriNow.com
ReplyDeleteThat is just adorable! You are very creative!
ReplyDeleteOh.My.Gosh. Cutest sensory bin ever!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a cute sensory tub! With cotton balls being so soft, I can imagine any child would LOVE to play with this one! And I love that it would be so easy to clean up. Thanks for the ideas once again :)

ReplyDeleteEstoy realmente sorprendida por todas las actividades que haces con tu hijo. Tienes una gran imaginación para realizar todas las actividades y realmente eres una gran educadora 'montessori' aunque me parece perfecta la idea de añadir otras técnicas, como en esta actividad, el baño sensiorial me parece algo fascinante. Enhorabuena.
