Hello Featherbed Friends,One thing we love about Vermont is the way the change of seasons completely transforms our sensory experience of place, space, and time. Now in stick season, night comes early with stunning starry skies, frosty mornings follow with the sound of frozen crunching leaves under our feet, the days are just right for hiking and biking with no crowds to contend with, and evenings are cool enough to enjoy a soak in the hot tub as the stars come into view. The chorus of spring an

First a quick word about Valentine's Day: Over the next couple of weeks you'll be seeing a lot of V-day activities over here on Counting Coconuts. But, I must admit, I'm not really a Valentine's kind of girl - the cards, the forced "I love you's"... it's all so contrived. Paul and I have never needed a holiday to show or tell how much we love one another. Little notes, flowers, hugs and kisses - there's so much you can (and should!) do all year round. However, I do quite like all the pink, red and CHOCOLATE that accompanies this holiday, so that's where my inspiration is coming from. :) Valentine's Sensory Tub I had several ideas in mind for this tub, but ultimately I decided on pink wool for the "base"; it has such a nice feel to it. I always try to find things that have varying textures and there's quite a range in this month's tub. Also, James really likes to "collect" things so I included several sets of objects for him to gather. In the tub: Heart shaped beads, stickers, foam cut-outs, and erasers Feathers Plastic crystals A little box with heart shaped "gems" in it A BIG pink pom and several smaller ones A pipe cleaner shaped into... what else? A heart! Chocolate Playdough This cocoa scented playdough smells di-vine! I guarantee you James will at least try to take a nibble of this. Thank goodness it's homemade with safe products!

We’re finally in the season of pumpkin - it’s everywhere! There’s no better excuse to enjoy this pumpkin scented sensory rice activity for kids.

Jonathan has really been enjoying playing with the sensory bins I've made recently. For our most recent sensory bin, I made a fall themed bin: In it I used: - brown aquarium rocks (from Walmart) - silk leaves (bought last year from Target $1 section) - red pompoms - fake acorns, pinecones, gourds, apples (from Target $1 section) Here are some things we've done with it: Practiced spooning and transferring the aquarium rocks from one container to another (Jonathan is quite proficient at this). Practiced dry pouring the aquarium rocks (Jonathan was more interested in this activity, but made a bit of a mess with it!) Practiced spooning the larger objects and putting them into muffin tins Worked on ABAB patterns with the acorns, apples, gourds and pinecones. Jonathan really just wanted to line things up: Sorted the leaves into piles based on their colors Sorted the various objects: Not only does it provide some fun sensorial play, but it's also great for practicing both practical life skills and basic math skills! I'm linking this up to these lovely blogs!
