November 30, 2018
Edit
One of our favorite ways to play is using our 5 senses! This calendar week for our A Very Toddler Fourth series nosotros accept tried 4th of July Frozen Yogurt bars (sense of taste), squished, dumped, together with mixed patriotic colors for our Color Lab (sense of sight), dropped, transferred together with clanged American flags inwards buckets for our Toddler Flag Sort (sense of hearing), together with smelled lots of vinegar together with baking soda fizz piece making a fizzy flag (sense of smell).
Today nosotros are using our sense of touching on for a 4th of July Sensory Station!
We grabbed a few items from the Target dollar surface area along alongside some items from our arts and crafts closet together with made these sensory station inwards but a few minutes!
MATERIALS NEEDED:
- window clings (we got ours inwards the Target Dollar Spot)
- large ziploc bags
- clear tape
- glitter
- water
- shower gel
- 4th of July red, silver, together with bluish beads
- American flags
- bucket
INSTRUCTIONS:
To larn started nosotros grabbed our favorite IKEA tabular array together with stuck our novel American Flag window cling to the table. We took the operate yesteryear slice of plastic off of the window cling together with and thence stuck it to the tabular array attached to the bottom slice of plastic. The plastic was stuck to the tabular array using tape, but my toddler would easily push clitoris together with squish the flag piece she played. It was a huge hit! If your toddler is all the same into the phase of eating everything, yous powerfulness desire to skip the window clings.
Next nosotros made ii 4th of July sensory squish bags!
In 1 large ziploc nosotros set shower gel (tinted blue) together with 4th of July beads. We zipped it unopen together with double bagged it to continue it extra secure!
Then nosotros taped it to the tabular array to continue it inwards 1 spot.
Our side yesteryear side handbag contained water, glitter, together with cherry nutrient coloring. We tried to larn every bit much air out of it every bit possible earlier nosotros sealed it closed! We also double bagged this one.
If your toddler is super curious together with sometimes destructive, yous may desire to duct record the edges thence that she can't opened upward the ziplocs. Mine isn't able to produce that yet!
We had thence much fun squishing, pulling, together with banging on the items piece exploring our sensory table!
This was such a striking that my older kids had to bring together inwards too!
Lastly, nosotros added our buckets of flags to the tabular array thence that kids could motion the flags some together with transfer them from bucket to bucket.
This sensory sense was the perfect agency to halt our Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Very Toddler Fourth series! We made all the same accept 1 or ii activities to part alongside yous over the weekend, but hopefully at 1 time yous accept a bunch of ideas to endeavour alongside your toddlers for the 4th of July!
