Sensory Table- Iceberg Melting


Frozen Crabs
Kaia decided to take the big block out of the water and add salt to see if that would make it melt faster

Experimenting with salt and warm water

Frozen blocks the kids designed the day before

One of the balloons hidden treasures
We made all of these the day before
For the balloons fill them with your treasures before adding water it worked better for us

Sensory Tub- Literally

We have a ton of ball pit balls and I was actually thinking of getting rid of them because the kids had lost interest and then I thought bathtub.
The kids were thrilled and there were actually screams of excitement as they discovered what their bath held. We will definitely be doing this again and maybe adding them to the water table.

Sensory Table- Water Beads in the Dark

For my Post on how to make Sensory Table- Water Beads in the Dark visit this link on my permanent site Familylicious

Sensory Table- Water Beads, Light and Feet

We added water beads to the small water table. I did not anticipate the foot exploration although I do see the appeal and we went with it.
I had little water proof lights the kids could shine into the beads to explore the translucency and color
We also had a sifter
For scooping and exploring the beads

Mikey started out with his hands but the draw was to strong he had to use his feet
I have a basket hanging for our slime exploration it worked great for the water beads too though
Light. beads and bugs
It all started with these stretchy bugs they were on sale with the after Easter stuff for 50 cents a pack so I had to think of something fun to go along with them. And then I thought water beads. What a winning combination.

Sensory Table- Pond and Funnel Tray

We made a pond water table and I hung the trays you get plants on for sifting and funnels
The kids loved the funnel tray



We had lily pads, frogs, and turtles


The kids picked up frogs and put them on the lily pads until the lily pads started to sink
It was a lot of fun

Sensory Table- Bubbles



We made bubbles

2 Cups Dawn Dish Detergent
6 cups water

Stir slowly if you make to many bubbles while stirring its harder to get the bubble blowers to work well. Enjoy!

or

The Best Bubbles Ever

6 cups water
2 cups Dawn dishwashing liquid
3/4 cup light corn syrup

Mix all ingredients together in a LARGE container. Shake everything up and let sit for a FEW hours. Pour into empty bubbles containers or sensory table and enjoy!

My favorite bubble blowers strawberry baskets and fly swatters
