​Little guy is just beginning to discover his letters. This activity is a wonderful way to combine his interests with literacy! He enjoyed using his trucks to move the lettered rocks around the bin.

​We practiced naming the different letters and encouraged him to repeat them. He was able to identify and name “O” and “I”, while being engaged in meaningful sensory pla
y!

Caution:  
Water beads are used in flower arrangements and although they are nontoxic, they are not edible and a choking hazard. It is important to provide appropriate supervision to the children in your care when using water beads. 
You may want to consider using homemade water beads for this project:
  • ​Safe Water Beads for Toddlers by Teaching Mama (a recipe for homemade safe water beads)
Picture
Just a note, we haven't had a problem with kids putting water beads in their mouths at all. Even the youngest toddlers have understood that its not food. However, they do like to throw them.  And, that puts our puppies at risk of finding them and consuming them. Water beads are one of the most fascinating sensory materials. It will keep children engaged for a long period of time. Please use caution while using water beads no matter what the age of the children.

Water beads can be purchased in the floral section in most craft stores. We bought ours on Amazon.

Create the sensory bins by adding all the materials to the plastic bin. Place the bin in an appropriate area for play and encourage the child to play with you.
