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! 

Gardening




This week we celebrated gardening! It was meaningful to discuss what we were growing at home. Many kids  excitedly shared that they are growing strawberries, tomatoes, basil and more!






For our “gardening” sensory bin, I used soil, fake worms, and lots if real veggies from the market. I had tongs for those friends who are dirt adverse. There was a “Vegetable Washing Station” to scrub our fresh picked veggies clean.










In the other bins, I used gardening gnomes, black beans, vegetable erasers and scoops!
