My Favorite New Post in June

 

 

Baby N had a lot of fun playing with rice and cookie cutters. I particularly enjoyed the fact that we were able to do a great sensory activity shortly before we had to go somewhere: N didn’t need a bath afterwards, and it was easy to sweep up the rice before we left the house.

 

The 3 Most Popular New Posts in June

 

 

Red, White, and Blue Water Sensory Bin

Just a simple water sensory bin I put together for N with red and blue pool noodles and white funnels. He loved it!

 

Shark I Spy Printable

Shark week is coming up in July – here’s a shark-themed I Spy game that makes counting and number recognition fun!

 

Floating Rainbow Balls in the Water Table

As you can see, water activities have been very popular. For this one, I put a bunch of plastic balls into our water table along with just enough water to make them float. N had a blast exploring them – and splashing the water, of course 🙂
