Day to Night sensory bin

This sensory bin was very fun, the sand/water wheel made it so much more interactive!! This is actually a great sensory bin  for children that do not enjoy sensory bins.

custom color water beads

We decided to use the "fish bowls" from our ping pong fish bowl toss to make some custom color water beads!! We used clear water beads, liquid watercolors, their measuring cups and water! First we used the measuring spoons to measure out dry water beads into each fish bowl, then we added liquid water colors and after that, the water!! Parker had a great time putting water into each fish bowl. This was such a simple but yet rewarding activity! Graham helped with the beginning part and Parker participated the whole time.

Rainbow snow slime & backyard play

First we grew some water beads, then sorted them on the light table for some Montessori inspired Reggio Style fine motor! Then we made rainbow snow slime!!

We used 6 scoops of insta snow, dunecraft brand water marbles(water beads), a few drops of coconut extract, some water, and a large package of gobbledygoop by dunecraft, then mix!

As you can see we played with it inside, and also outside!!
