March Sensory Tub

I saw this great idea frog a frog pond sensory bin and I just had to copy it right away! As you can see Little-Man loved it too! I changed mine a little to make it more educational for the older ones to also use.We will soon be studying the life cycle of the frog. In mine is a base of blue glass for the water, googly eyes for the frog eggs, a flat rock,felt lily pads (I found the pattern here), a green spoon from the dollar store, and green frogs from the dollar store. Total cost today $3.16  It is such a big hit Little-man cried when I took it away for nap time. I saw it here and that's where I got my idea. Thanks so much for the jump start!
