August Sensory Party-On the Farm!

Wow! So much has happened. We are now moved into our new house and settling in. Today we had a sensory party to get more people involved in messy play and it was amazing! Thank you to all who came out!!

The Theme was "On the Farm" featuring all thing animals and dirty!

Here was the set up for the "messy" portion of the play. We protected our carpets by laying down paint covers. 

Let's introduce some of the activities. 

We had three pools; I realized I didn't get a up close photo of one. The first was "green pastures" which was green sphagetti and horses. This was a lot of fun for all the babies. The second was "muddy pigs," cornstartch mud and piggies. This was by far the favorite of all. The third was "dirt and worms" which was gelatin and the texture seem to throw a lot of babies off!

I also had sensory bins:

These where a huge hit. Kids loved "gardening" in them. 

We also had a few activities. Due to people reclining photo permission, I didn't get a lot of photos! But we had "milking" the cows, and Tegan really took it to heart making a huge mess! She had a blast. This activity requires gloves, non toxic white paint, water, and a little cornstartch to thicken. Mix all into a bowl and gently pour into gloves, tying top closes. Take a nail and make a small pin prick to the "udders" and let them discover the gloves however they want! Most found it fun to just shake them ;)

We also loved this little on getting a early start on sensory play! She loved splashing her feet in the "mud"

So much fun! Thank you for reading and remember, Let them be little!
