Key Lime Pie Play Dough Recipe

Homemade play dough is so easy to make! Play dough that smells amazing and only includes 3 ingredients {and no cooking} is even better!  During the school year, my preschoolers get to enjoy homemade play dough all year long.  New play dough is sent in twice a month by their awesome parents and each new color or scent is always exciting to play with!

Magnetic Apples Sensory Bin

I think that I am just as excited (if not more!) as my preschoolers when I introduce a new sensory bin in our classroom!  Even simple materials impress my 3 year-old preschoolers.  It’s nice that now a few weeks into the school year, they are able to try their best at waiting patiently to get their turn in our sensory play area.  Our magnetic apples

Pigs in the Mud Sensory Bin

Messy play is always so much fun with preschoolers!  I find that when our sensory play is a little out of the box and intriguing, more of my preschoolers who may normally shy away from getting messy, join in.  Our pigs in the mud sensory bin was super messy, but so easy to set up!  It also allowed my preschoolers to help, which they loved.

Five Little Pumpkins Sensory Bottle

Sensory bottles can be used in so many different ways with toddlers and preschoolers!  In my classroom, sensory bottles are used for calming down, exploring, science, literacy, math, and as an extension to what we are learning about!  Our 5 Little Pumpkins sensory bottle goes perfectly with the fall theme and the classic children’s poem that we learn each year.  This sensory bottle is super

Frog Splashing Pond Small World

Ribbit! Splash! Frogs seem to be everywhere this summer!  We see them in the grass hopping all over and have saved too many to count from our pool.  My kids are slightly obsessed with the super cute baby frogs that have recently made an appearance, so it was so much fun creating a Frog Splashing Pond Small World for them to play with!

Super Bouncy Ball Discovery Bottle

Super bouncy balls!  They bounce everywhere, get lost, and then are found in very odd places all over my house months later.  I always think that super balls would be so fun to experiment with sensory play in my classroom, but realistically, they would drive some of the kids bananas! It dawned on me (while throwing the empty peanut butter container into the recycle bin)

Bunny {tail} Sensory Bin for Preschool

Sensory play with cotton balls! If there is one area of the classroom that my preschoolers visit the most, it would be our sensory table activities!  Because of this, I like to change the theme and materials in our sensory bins often.  Spring and Easter are just around the corner, so this is the perfect time of year to introduce my preschoolers to our Bunny
