The Art Box: Pet Rocks

In keeping with our letter for the week, R, our box included: 4 colors of paint, 2 sponge brushes, and 4 rocks.



Mustang decided to paint all 4 rocks and I found a 5th one for myself. I should have had better brushes, but this is what we had on hand.



Apparently, Mustang had just as much fun mixing all the paints as she did painting the rocks.



We let the rocks dry a couple days, and then we added googly eyes. Very cute!

Sensory Tubs: Rainbows and Rocks

I love sensory tubs. They are one of my favorite parts of our school. In honor of our letter of the week R, I made two different tubs this week.

First, our rainbow tub. We made rainbow rice as part of our Raising Rock stars lesson about Noah's Ark, so I used that in the tub. I added white pom poms for clouds and large, clear, glass gems for raindrops. A set of rainbow measuring cups and spoons, from the Target dollar spot and a funnel from the Dollar Tree. I also put in a pot of gold-pieces of gold ribbon and play coins.




Our second tub is the rock tub. I used 2 bags of small rocks from the Dollar Tree and a half a bag of larger rocks. I hid little lizards in the rocks, also from the Dollar Tree. I put in a magnifying glass to admire the rocks and a set of plastic garden tools for digging. I really should have had a bucket, but I didnt think of it until after the tub was assembled. I did end up adding a little plastic cup because Charger really wanted to spoon the rocks. I did find out this is a very loud tub if it is shaken back and forth lol!



Did you make a tub this week? I would love to see it! Just add a link to your sensory tub post below. I hope to make this a weekly linky if it is well received.
