Cowboy Sensory Bin

Yehaw Cowboys and girls! I wanted to do something a bit different for fall this year. Yes, I am early posting this because I am not sure if I can get time in September to post. So I kept the fall feeling in this bin by using corn kernels. Also in the bin is alphabet noodles, cow, horse, sheriff badge, plastic cowboy hats and boots, cactus, plastic cowboy people, coyote, and cowboy themed erasers. I want to point out that I try to reuse food items in future sensory bins. This is also the case with the plastic plants and animals as well.

Little Red Riding Hood Sensory Bin

Jada want's to be Little Red Riding Hood for Halloween so I decided to put together a Sensory Bin in the same theme. I planned to add a house, basket etc but there is just no room in this bin. Maybe next time

I used rice dyed green, pinecones, wood trees, mushrooms, white rocks a peg doll and a wolf.

Pirate Shipwreck

So thanks to Disney's Jake and the Never Land Pirates we have a wee obsession with Pirates around here. I found it really hard to find pirate stuff at the dollar store which is strange because everywhere you look in N.S. every summer is pirates this and that. So I made my own peg pirates (girl and boy) and searched Etsy and bought a wood pirate from Armadillo dreams.
Now whats in the bin?
Rice as filler to look like white sand, wood gold coins, parrots, red X marks the spot, blue anchor, foam sponge shapes, palm trees, treasure chest, homemade Jolly Rodger flag and a fake pearl bracelet. I might add some silver dollars to the bin later

Our favorite book for our pirate theme is How I Became A Pirate by

Melinda Long and David Shannon. This book teaches you how to speak pirate and takes you along on a great sea voyage adventure.

Bike/Scooter Painting

It was such a beautiful day here in Nova Scotia yesterday. We took full advantage and tried something new. We have done car and truck painting but wanted to do it again on a much larger scale:)



Jada setting herself up to make some tred marks

It was a bit windy yesterday so the rocks helped hold the paper down

Jada grew tired of this actvity after a while and decided to do boot painting:)

Fairy Sensory Bin

This month we have decided to focus on Fairies and make believe. I had great luck at a thrift store and found a fairy house, mushrooms and hedgehogs. The rest of the things in the bin we already had. It was Jada's idea to add the little dish of Fairy treasures.

Tray Work

Hi everyone! just stopping by with some new trays:

spooning rice into a funnel

Arranging flowers and leaves

dressing

vintage lacing boards

And counting pompoms. I am cleaning out my kitchen and decided I didn't want or use this magnetic spice tin and holder. I had it at daycare for a few weeks now not knowing what I should do with it until I realized we haven't been doing enough counting activities. Pompoms are nice and quiet as the children drop them into the tin ;)

Lately Jada has a thing for mermaids. I have no idea where she saw or heard about them but everything is mermaid this and mermaid that. So this springs bin is all about her beloved mermaids

Inside: Blue rice, sea shells, rocks, flamingos, palm trees and a hand crafted wood mermaid from This Etsy store. Thanks for looking and I love reading your comments. Please see my sidebar for all the great blogs I link up to:)
