Her list is fantastic and she gives examples of how she uses each item for play. We already used many of the materials she suggested but I was also inspired by many other ideas I hadn't thought to use before. She also has wonderful sensory play and bath play ideas on her site so be sure to check it out!
A recent trip to the dollar store inspired this activity. It's not ground breaking or anything, it's been done many times but it's the first time we did it and the girls loved it. One of the best parts is it all was purchased at the dollar store for $5 and it can be used over and over again!
The materials are simple: pom poms, ice cube trays and tweezers.
The girls used the tweezers to sort the pom poms in the ice cube tray.
My 4 year old sorted them by color and counted each color after sorting.
My 2 year old had fun simply using the tweezers to pick up the pom poms. Great fine motor skill activity! Also an example of how this activity lends itself to different skill levels.
So simple and fun all for $5!!
