March sensory tub

Yesterday someone gave us a big baggie of colored spiral noodles. So I put em in our sensory tub along with cut up pieces of mardi gras beads. Q loves being loud with them--stirring and scooping them as loudly as she can. Once she settles down over the excitement of their newness she can practice pouring, measuring, scooping, etc.

When I taught 2 year olds we did a big tub just of the cut mardi gras beads. The nice thing is you can cut them in longer sections so that they aren't easily swallowed. Then you can use them for impromptu math lessons--can you find 4 beads? 5 beads?
