Celebrating Fall - Corn!

 It's corn - a big lump with knobz!    We are celebrating fall this entire month, and of course corn, pumpkins and leaves came to mind. I happily surpirsed at how successful the corn sensory bins have been! Some littles even began climbing inside the large bin for a full body experience.  Here's a list of the materials we used: -Wooden Scoops -Cracked Corn -Corn On The Cob Wild Bird Food -Handy Scoopers -Smal Pie Tins -Fresh corn on the cob. Now onto the photos: Exploring corn was a full sensory experience. From noticing the different textures between the dry corn and fresh corn, how it smells, and some kiddos even nibbled on the fresh corn! I can't blame them. I also enjoyed watching the children using their fine motor skills to pick off the kernels!

Sticks!

 The theme: Sticks!

For the children aged 1-2 we read, "Stick" by Irene Dickson.
For the kiddos who were older, we read, "Not a stick!" By Antoinette Portis.


We went hiking for sticks. We used them to dig with, swish with, and fish leaves out of the bond.




Our play station had three choices, sensory bins with small animals and stick homes, loose part building with larger sticks/branches/tree cookies and lastly, pots and pans set up for a stick drumming session. A stick is such a magnificent open ended tool!
