I’m not sure if I am totally sold on the idea of sensory tubs at this point.
I am trying to simplify things around here and have yet to decide whether the sensory tubs will stay or go.
In the mean time I will share what we’ve got going in our tubs right now…
E has been playing with these kidney beans for almost a year and a half now. I have rotated different objects in and out every few months or so, but have obviously kept it very simple.
I just put together L’s first sensory tub last week. I picked a “colors” theme and went WAY overboard.
As soon as I showed it to her I knew it was way too much for her at this point, she is only 15 months old.
Does this tub not scream sensory overload?! (You live and learn, right?)
I gave her some old food containers to fill and dump, which I know she enjoys because she has done it with some of these items on a smaller scale, but she wasn’t into it.
(PS She did not sort all of the objects above on the color coordinated cards. I did one on each to show her. I think it is pretty obvious which ones she did. At least she grasped the concept of putting the objects on the cards!:)
