The first one I did was an ice cream sensory bin (http://karlamcurry.wordpress.com/2011/08/04/ice-cream-sensory-bin/) with a whole bunch of pom poms and cookie dough scoops - the kids LOVED it! They played with it for ages and the pom poms aren't messy like rice (ugh... I still find bits of it here and there). I also did one with birds and bird seed, little pretend eggs in a real nest that we found outside, a branch for the birds to sit on, etc. Afterwards, dump the seed outside for the birds!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637040260483300028.post-39219376837248570042012-02-23T23:05:32.428-05:002012-02-23T23:05:32.428-05:00Becky, I plan to try some dry oatmeal soon!
Meli...Becky, I plan to try some dry oatmeal soon! <br /><br />Melissa, DON"T STRESS! First of all, there is no need for a table. I would have never, ever bought a special table. Liza happened to get this water table for her birthday so I brought it up from the basement (usually for outside). Just use a plastic storage container...something shallow so that little hands can get in there. This way you can place it on a table or on the floor and you can cover it up and put it away when you are done. Secondly, just walk around your house and find things that you think B might have fun with. How about soapy water and some cups? You could stick some yarn in there, tissue paper, newspaper, etc. ANYTHING! have fun with it! I'll post more ideas and the internet is full of fantastic inspiration. <br /><br />Amber, let us know how it goes! <br /><br />Thanks so much for reading and commenting! <br /><br />xo SarahKatey and Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186363233556201310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637040260483300028.post-86497634571385004222012-02-23T14:39:56.890-05:002012-02-23T14:39:56.890-05:00I love this idea!

Totally doing that this weekend! I need a little table like you have though, that would be perfect and fit well in our living room!Melissa https://www.blogger.com/profile/06862254272585544685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637040260483300028.post-16025256170863972042012-02-23T13:47:58.699-05:002012-02-23T13:47:58.699-05:00I never thought of using cotton balls!

Much like the rice, it ended up all over my house, but it was well worth it (and nothing a quick vacuum couldn't fix) because of all the fun she had and all the "coffee" and "ice cream" (can you tell what mommy's favorite things are?!) she made. Keep up the posts! I love reading them!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18340689680947661861noreply@blogger.com
