Move: Alphabet Archeologist- Sensory Tubs Part 1





Nicole is a huge fan of Sensory Tubs...and she's got A LOT of easy, fun ideas for using them.
In keeping with our back-to-school theme this month, she's shared this one: Alphabet Archeologist. 

Materials:
 plastic tub (storage bin)
rice, beans, pasta, sand, etc.
foam or wooden letters
small shovels
paintbrushes

She says, "Take turns burying and hiding the letters in the rice and searching for them. My little girl found the same enjoyment from this activity as she does from the classic game of peek-a-boo...plus she was able to practice identifying and saying some of the letter names and sounds."

More Sensory Tub ideas coming...but we'd love to hear yours in the meantime!!

I saw this done with a box of grits on vacation, and oats would work, pasta would work - what a fun idea!

Grace loves finding things as well. We've been hiding her alphabet blocks all over her playroom (within her reach). We then collect them in a basket, and go over the sounds of the letters. She gets soo excited when she finds a block..it's so cute!! We did an Easter Egg hunt with plastic eggs too. It was a chance to go over colors. Looking forward ot making Grace a sensory box..great idea Nicole!!
