The Little Lamb {learning through literature}

May 31, 2013

My son loves all of the books written by Judy Dunn with photographs by Phoebe Dunn.  These books were written in the 1970s and I remember them from my childhood.  The photographs are stunning and simple.  They always include a cute and believable storyline about a young child and their journey with a lovable little animal.

May joined too and played with her little lamb ♥

I made a simple sensory bin that only included little lambs and tractors.  The base was ground corn, found in the pets department, and I included some spoons and bowls for John to use.  I think this was his absolute favorite sensory bin.  I loved watching him play and explore and imagine.

    I’ve never used corn in a sensory bin, but it looks so cool! I think my kids would love it! And your crown’s held together so well! Thanks for sharing this at Teach Me Tuesday at Preschool Powol Packets!

    What a fabulous idea. I have a sand pit, that has water one side, but you have just inspired me to make a sensory bin. Thanks so much for linking in to the Kid Lit Blog Hop, cheers Julie
