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.
Thanks for looking and please see my sidebar for all the great blogs I link up to. Your comments are always appreciated...Well as long as they are nice ones that is ;)
Hands down the best "toy" I have ever bought. I looked everywhere for one of these and found it in the Melissa and Doug section at a toy store while on vacation.
Extended play. Making a old play toy special again just by adding some peg people in a bag
Yup ols school Olympics today. Jada wanted a new sensory bin and had little patience to wait so this was a quick bin that I put together.
Jada and her friends loved the swimming event. Lots of other children eager to get a turn
Tomorrow is a new day and new Olympic event. Thanks for looking and please see my sidebar for all the great blogs I link up to:)
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. 
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.
