Snow Sensory Activity

Snow Much Fun!!!
When I taught in Ohio we would have days when it was too cold to go out and play in the snow. On those days we would bring the snow inside. We would fill the sensory table with snow and let the children play with it. I never thought I would have the opportunity to do this with Little sweets because we live in South Carolina. We were so excited to get snow over the weekend. We got to do so many new fun activities, including putting snow in our sensory table. Little Sweets made snowballs out of it. She used measuring cups and her tea cups to scoop the snow. She also noticed her tea cups changed color when she put them in the cold snow. They also changes color when you pour cold water into them. Overall, this was a fun learning experience for Little Sweets . If it's too cold to go play in the snow where you live try bringing the snow inside. Just make sure you put towels around the sensory table. The floor can get very slippery.

More fun with contact paper




Little Sweets loves to feel things with her feet. One of her favorite books is a book called Little Feet Like…. As you read the book your child is suppose to touch the pages with their feet. Because Little Sweets loves to feel things with her feet, I thought she might like to walk on the sticky side of contact paper. I put the piece of contact paper on the floor for her to walk on and instead she laid down on top of it and rolled around. She thought it was great fun. She may not have done what I had wanted her to do, but it was still a great sensory experience for her.
