After our Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Sensory Tub, I thought it would be fun to do more sensory tubs inspired by some of our favorite children’s books! The Are You My Mother? Board Book is one of Little Brother’s favorites lately.
Thankfully, a quick check around the house and we had all of the necessary “characters”, except for a dog…how ironic. Our dog Sage came outside with us, so that counts, right? I also used some birdseed I had purchased several months ago. I had intended
to make about 200 birdseed hearts for my sister’s wedding favors…but decided against it after making the first batch! ;)
I read the boys the story while we were outside…they LOVED reading outside. We’ll have to do that more often!
I always think it’s hilarious when I see kids squat while they’re playing…it’s gotta be uncomfortable!
Little Brother was so excited to find the baby bird!
Be sure to hang on to your birdseed…I’ll share why later!
What is your favorite children’s book that you would like to be used as inspiration for a sensory tub???
great idea, thank you for sharing! I’m liking the sensory bin idea more and more
Very fun…I had just sat down at the computer to write a post on an Are You My Mother activity that we did today when I saw your post in my google reader. I love the sensory tub for this- especially given the fun crane to go with it!
We did a sequencing activity- http://havingfunathomeblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/are-you-my-mother-sequencing-activity.html
Katey, that looks like so much fun! We’ll have to try that too! :)
My boys LOVE that book, I’ll have to try that with them. :) So cute! Mr. Brown Can Moo would be a fun bin as well. :)
oh I like that a lot. We haven’t read that book in awhile but what fun.
What a great idea – we love that book! I think I’m definitely going to have to try some of these sensory tubs…seems like a lot of fun.

you are so gifted in bringing up these ideas every week…i am glad i have u on my subscription list even though recently i purged a few in attempt to cut my “Internet” time…
hope this encourages you to keep at it…
Can you tell me who makes the crane? We need one for our construction set!
Bethany, the crane actually came with our train table (I think Imaginarium through Toys ‘R Us, but I’m not sure because it was a gift).
