Sensory Play

    I feel as though I am putting my child second when he should be first recently. And while I was browsing Pintrest for some fun things to do with him, one site suggested addable paint, which uses yogurt and koolaid, which I am so excited to try, but James can't have yogurt yet, so that one will have to wait a little bit longer.

    But I did try this one.

You will need:

• a tray or glass pan
• ice cubes
• warm water
• bath toys
• towel

 The site I got it from said to do it indoors on a drop cloth and towel, but that was a lot more clean up then I wanted to deal with, so I did it outside on a towel in some shade.

First:

you put the ice cubes in the pan and let them feel them. 

I told James what he was feeling as he played with them 

"These are ice cubes, and they are cold"

Then:

you pour the warm water in the pan and have them feel the difference between the hot a cold.

"Feel the water? its warm."

After: 

I gave him some toys to play with in the water, he loved this bottle lid the most, he figured out how to pick water up with it and then pour it out. 

He had lots of fun and was very wet afterwords.

But boys will be boys and this didn't hold his attention long.

He saw some very tasty looking grass, thankfully he had his pacifier in his mouth, or I would be cleaning mud off him too.

I decided to turn the sprinklers on and see how he liked that.  He didn't mind it hitting him, but he didn't like the sound it made on the blanket.

     After all this excitement I decided it was time to go in the house. I can't wait to try some other games with him.

Till the next one.
