I have been wanting for some time now to put together a sensory tub for Mikayla.  A blog I follow, Counting Coconuts<\/a>, makes a different tub for her three year old every couple of weeks.  I am blown away with her creativity and thought I would try my hand at it.  I love the idea of giving kids toys that stimulate creativity, sensory integration, and are made from common household items.  <\/p>\n

When she was younger I tried my hand at a few simple toys like a water table and a fine motor toy where she stuck chopsticks in holes.  You can read about them here<\/a>.  Then a few weeks ago I made playdough<\/a>.  I thought a fall sensory tub would be the next best project!  I had plenty of items lying around the house from my scarecrow costume and picked up a few last minute additions at the store today.  It is simple and (hopefully) fun!<\/p>\n

Fall leaves (some real and some fake) and pine cones.<\/em><\/p>\n

Wooden spoons and tongs for picking up and exploring items.  Piece of burlap sack, pumpkins (real and fake) and a straw brush made from raffia tied together.<\/em><\/p>\n

When Mikayla wakes up from her nap she will get to explore the tub.  I will try and post pictures later!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
