Here are a few Valentine's activities we have done this week............
For our Rice Sensory Bin, I purchased several Valentine's items
I hid all these items throughout the sensory bin

Erasers

foam heart stickers that I stuck both sticky sides together

Heart comtainers (where I hid some of the items in the containers and then in the rice bin)
Valentine's cards which I cut up and laminated & made into puzzles (hid the pieces in the bin and then when they found all the pieces they put the puzzles together.
Then we made Valentine's tasty treats! Using tortilla shells and heart cookie cutters! Cut out the hearts, spary with cooking spray & sprinkle with sugar sprinkles!
Bake at 400 for 5 minutes.
Sorting buttons by color and size in heart shaped ice cube trays.
My tot is placing the buttons in the hearts
My boys made these hats at CBS (Community Bible Study) this week
I am a new follower of you blog! These are great ideas, I love the tortilla hearts! I will have to do that with my boys.
ReplyDeleteThose are some great ideas! I'm forever pouring beans or rice from a cookie sheet back into a baggie. I need to invest in a storage container like yours so I can keep those sensory materials ready to go!

I love the sensory bin and every thing you put in. The tortilla hearts look perfect for Monday's Red/Valentines Day muffin tin. I have seen so many great activities and treats as I check out the posts that others have linked up to my Valentines linky and JDaniel4's Mom's. And now I found your post.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend
Blessings

You gave me some new ideas. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of cutting up the valentines into pieces and having them search for them in the sensory bin! I may just have to use that idea sometime. Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteI love the treasure hunt for puzzle pieces!

I L-O-V-E the tortilla heart cutouts! So simple - the toddler can do it all (except put in the oven). We're definitely doing that!

Yours is the second post I've seen using ice cube trays for sorting. Such a neat idea. I don't have pre-schoolers, but I wonder if my 7 year old daughter would be into it? Great post. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove the heart tortills snacks! So simple yet so fun!
ReplyDeleteThose tortilla hearts look yummy - and I love the crowns!
ReplyDeleteSo many cool ideas, thanks for sharing, visiting from JDaniel4's mom party
ReplyDeleteThe tortilla hearts are such a great idea! A little sweet, but still healthy!
ReplyDeleteLove how your heart bin has varying levels of difficulty with the puzzles in there... And I seriously need to pick up a heart ice cube tray somewhere - those are so versatile. Sweet hats, too!
ReplyDeleteI really like the tortilla hearts - what a great idea! Thanks for linking to Montessori Monday. :)
