Ocean Felt Build-a-Box

Ocean Felt Build-a-Box

-Blue felt

-Sandy colored felt

-Green felt square

-Seashells

-Plastic sharks

 I cut one blue square out of a large piece of felt so it just fit into the bottom of my box. 

 Then I cut out one sandy colored piece with a wavy edge and placed it on top of the blue felt in the box.

Then I cut out a green piece of felt from a felt square and placed it on top of the sandy colored felt.

I added sharks and seashells. Instant ocean!

Yellow Loader Sensory Box

Yellow Loader Sensory Box
-  Pinto beans, ~1/2 cup
- Small loader, Tonka
- Small dump truck
- Small containers
- Scoop (plastic lid from a Gerber baby food container)   

The pinto beans work well for the loader to push around in the Build-a-Box. When they fall out they are easy to see and pick up. I play a "Can you find any beans!" type game with the kids to locate the beans and put them back in the box.
