Our theme for the week was sunflowers, which I'll be posting about over the next couple days. But, I wanted to show you our sensory tub for this month. I had a sunflower theme in mind, but it ended up turning into more of just a flower theme. It still turned out cute and the kids really liked it!
Here's our little flower garden box. Little being key word. After I filled it, I wished I had grabbed a larger size. But, the kids didn't seem to notice.
View from the top.
The box started with black beans, yellow, black, and gold sparkle pom poms.
I hid a little ladybug eraser in the 'dirt.'
I added these wooden flowers and butterflies from Hobby Lobby. And every garden needs a white picket fence (also from Hob Lob).
The watering can is from Hobby Lobby. The flower pot was a treasure at a yard sale, and the scoop is from Montessori Services.
This super cute pinwheel has been a favorite-and they still haven't even noticed that it's a pinwheel!
A few lacing beads and a string.
Lots of fun has been going on! Filling the watering can with all the beads.
Building a TALL tower to make the flower look like a big sunflower.
And best of all, lots of playing together.
Thanks for stopping by! God Bless!

ohh my goodness what a cute sensory tub! :-)
I love this! We just recently discovered sensory bins and my girls really love them. We made an "under the sea" themed one they played with for long periods of time. :)
What a fun idea! Thanks for sharing.
What a cute sensory bin ... and I love all the learning activities included in it! Thanks for linking up with Montessori Monday. I featured your post at the Living Montessori Now Facebook page and added your flower posts to my Montessori-Inspired Gardening Unit at http://livingmontessorinow.com/2012/05/29/montessori-inspired-gardening-unit/
