Sensory Table

B’s teacher has mentioned (repeatedly) B’s interest/infatuation with his classroom’s sensory table. He isn’t much into coloring or the craft projects but is always eager to play with whatever stuff be it sticky, gooey, gritty or doughy that he might find at his favorite spot in the classroom.

Remembering Mrs. F’s comments is what gave us the idea to create our own little mini sensory table for B’s birthday party.  The table was a hit both during the party and afterwards. 

These two played and played and played…

So much that we decided to keep the fun going and build a sensory table for our backyard!

C made the table out of scrap wood from a pile in our garage and I painted it with left over paint from the myriad projects we have tackled over the past several months (the under the bed storage bin was left over from our former house)…the entire project was spontaneous and cost nothing, making me even more excited about it.

(The helmet is just a glimpse of the shenanigans taking place in what is our backyard…oh the joy of being 3 years old!)

My goal for the spring/summer is to rotate whatever resides in the table each week or two….right now we have rice (left over from the party)…I can only imagine what might we might play and explore with next!

Ella makes sure chaperone all the new sensory table happenings as they develop.

Happy Playing.
