Something Sensory-Sensational

I have seen them before....Sensory Tubs....but until now have not ventured to create them. 

What was I waiting for???

Everett loves it!!!

 
{And Eli enjoyed it too!}
 
Every day this week Everett would point to the Sendory Tub on the top shelf and say "Play Please, Play Please"....
 
Although it did get a little messy as Everett found other ways to play with the rice.  And several times I had to remind Everett not to eat the rice.
 
 
 Everett was always eager to help clean up the mess though.
 

 
Then I remembered that I had an extra vinyl shower curtain in the bathroom cabinet....
 

Now the mess was slightly more contained.....although our Boxer still seemed a little concerned by the mess.


But it was easier to pick up the whole shower curtain and just dump the rice back into the tub (of course I still had to run the vacuum for the pieces that managed to escape the play area).


The sensory tub was a HUGE hit and kept Everett (& Eli) entertained for several hours this week!
 
So today began my search for more ideas.  You can check out my board on Pinterest.  My favorite pin is this one......{of course now I will have to get a paper shredder!}
 
The ideas & possibilities are endless: colored rice, cotton balls, themes, water, rocks.....truly SENSORY-SENSATIONAL!
 
Thanks for stopping by!
God Bless!
