Sensory bin #1 - Dried beans with

frogs and insects

He LOVED this day!

Continued with counting, colors, and lining

up the frogs.  Added different sounds of frogs

from YouTube

His favorite to date - pipe cleaner and beads

First three beads he needed my help but

after that he was a pro!  Created patterns,

counted, and so much fun.

He was zoned in

Water Play

Play-Doh Time - let him use a plastic knife and then

scissors to practice cutting
