Kids Crafts, Sensory Play, Science, and More
After using our Ikea sensory table for years, we finally got to a point where we felt we had outgrown it. My oldest kiddo could not fit her legs underneath the table and really struggled to fit when there was a bucket in to hold sensory materials. Initially I thought, maybe I will just add some taller legs to the table, but in the end, I wanted more space to explore. So, I decided to start exploring some ideas and create my own DIY Sensory Table!!
This year for President’s Day, we talked about the Presidents for which President’s Day was established: Washington and Lincoln. As part of our discussion, we talked about what each of them were known for and what parts of history were important at the time. After some understanding of President’s Day, we then decided to do an activity with coins. We choose a science experiment in learning how best to clean coins. We choose to work with Lincoln on our pennies.
As we talked about in our last post, we love to reuse and recycle things to the best of our ability in our house. So today, on a whim, I noticed we had a couple of paper towel rolls laying around. Instead of throwing them in the recycling bin, I asked my toddler and preschooler if they wanted to do a paper towel roll craft? To start, they were skeptical but quickly it turned into something fun!
