Our Butterfly Sensory Tub

 
 
My son was so happy that we set up his Butterfly Sensory Tub today!
It has anything and everything to do with butterflies and caterpillars!
There are plastic, fabric, foam, and felt butterflies. A beaded butterfly that my son made himself, a pom pom caterpillar, some flowers, a felt caterpillar and more.
We colored some rice yellow for the filler.
Eventually, we will combine these items with our Spring Sensory Tub and make it on huge sensory tub.
 
For those of you that do not know what a sensory tub/tote is, it is a tub or a bin that you fill up with various items to let your child be hands-on. Sensory activities provide children with another meaningful avenue of learning.

Our Spring Sensory Tub

For those of you that do not know what a sensory tub is,
it is tub or a bin that you fill up with various items to let your child be hands-on. Sensory activities provide children with another meaningful avenue of learning. The tub can have a theme or include random miscellaneous items.
 
This is our Spring Sensory Tub. I think it one of my son's favorite sensory totes so far. It includes plastic bugs, felt bugs, butterflies, flowers, bunnies, bug catching kits and net, clay flower pot, mini carrots, and more! I used blue rice for the filler. My son is having a blast with the rice, it is like an indoor sandbox! He loves filling and dumping things!
