SENSORY BIN
I made up this summertime sensory bin which included rice, beans, ice cream dishes with little spoons, Hawaiian mask ice cube trays of different colors, ice cream scoops and disposable shot glasses... huge hit with the kids... I have already come up with a theme for next week's bin... I put the bin by our swing set in the shade...so the kids could play with it through out the morning...Braeden... taking a turn on the slide before the messiness began...
SHAVING CREAM PAINTINGFor our first Messy Activity we did Shaving cream finger painting... we had 15 kids today...and it was nowhere near as messy as I anticipated...which is good I think....
Braeden was pretty unamused by this project... although... he might have been a bit testy from being up since 5 am.... who's to judge really?...
Loving the messy.... besides a great art project (we used primary colors to mix)... this was a great sensory project...
FROZEN ICE EXCAVATION I had so much fun making this activity... I froze different shapes and colors of ice...as well as some summertime objects and beads...into one big block of ice... the objective was to get the kids to melt the ice to get to the objects.
We split the kids up into two teams (more or less) and had them attempt to fill the other teams bucket until it overflowed... things stayed pretty even for awhile...then they got crafty....Braeden....enjoyed watching but not participating in this one...most likely because the sprinkler was on by the other bucket...
The game got a little dice-ee when one team...or both got creative with other water carrying devices... I believe this ended in one big massive water fight...that pretty much went on for the rest of the morning...
SNACK TIMEThe kids enjoyed some mini- slow melt Popsicles for snack... the yard was quiet and semi still for about 5 minutes... :-)
Stay tuned for next weeks messy summer fun....To see what others did this week check out Tot School at 1+1+1=1; Preschool Corner at Homeschool Creations; Mom 2 lil Posh Divas and the Weekly Wrap-up at Weird Unsocialized Homeschoolers.
