*Planting A Rainbow by Lois Ehlert
Her discovery basket has laminated pictures of things you would see in the spring- butterflies, rainbows, bees, birds, flowers, etc. Here she is doing her favorite activity...rearranging her flowers.
I have been wanting to do this activity FOREVER! I finally set up the Spring Flower Garden sensory bin! I used black beans, fake flowers, some garden tools, a couple of disposible plantars, and even a couple of plastic easter eggs.
It was a huge hit!
She turned the plantar upside down and started putting the black beans through the holes. She turned this into a fine motor activity all on her own! :)
She filled up an easter egg with black beans and it became a musical shaker!
We used a fake flower from our sensory bin to do a little process art painting.
*The Little Gardener By Jan Gerardi
A couple of weeks ago we threw some wildflower seeds in the planter. They are starting to grow! We loved seeing the new growth daily.
We tried our hand at celery stamping. It was a lot messier than anticipated, and she honestly didn't have any interest in using the celery, so it turned into a finger/body painting project. :) But we had fun and it's about the PROCESS, not the PRODUCT! ;)
We ended up painting the celery and our hands/arms. 😐😂😁
