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!

Ladybugs

     

    Continuing on our theme of insects, this week we focused on lady bugs!








    My first set of sensory bins feature some hand painted lady bug rocks, green dyed rice, and scoopers!

  


In the second bin, I set up a "Small World" for ladybug play. One group enjoyed hiding the ladybugs and allowing other children to find them. It was wholesome to observe.




Last, but not least. We had ladybug slime. I used this recipe here for the slime- I found it to be the least sticky recipe I've used. In the past, when slime would stick to some little hands, panic would ensue. I'm appreciative this time we had a different outcome! 



This little friend even stuck their FEET in the slime! I love to see it.
