Having fun with a St. Patrick’s Day sensory bin. I bought some green tinsel, gold coins, some glittery shamrocks, some “drinking game” green dice, with some cut up foam from our basement square foam mats, and of course, our homemade leprechaun.
We have been reading a cute, nonsense book about St. Patty’s Day and a tricky (non-creepy) leprechaun, based on The Night Before Christmas, which I thought was cute; and it’s $2 at Amazon:
John loved the beaded necklaces.
As you can see — he put them all on, but then let me have one.
He is still struggling with throwing all the contents of our sensory bins after he gets bored. He did little sorting — I had planned for him to sort the different colored green foam. But he had fun.
Thank you for taking the time to visit Wildflower Ramblings!

March 8, 2014 at 3:02 pmThis is great! I especially love the little felt leprechaun guy. I have a 17 month old daughter and sensory bins are my (and her) new favorite thing!
