Baby girl was happy when the balls were introduced, giggling and clapping.

Like most little ones, she was naturally drawn to the bright hues. She quickly discovered that kicking her feet made for a kaleidoscope of colors!

Supplies:

large box or laundry basket
plastic balls

**Always supervise children during sensory activities. Do not allow the child to climb out of the ball pit without assistance to prevent injury**

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 play!
