‘Are You My Mother’ Sensory Tub

Are You My Mother Sensory Tub



 

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!

    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

      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).
