Bugs in the Grass

It is summer and we have been having a lot of fun putting together some fun sensory activities.  I have seen many great blogs using pasta for a sensory tub so I thought it would make some fun grass for our bugs.

Today we played with bugs in the grass.  We used spoons and prongs for awhile but Adeline had more fun using her hands and putting it into a bucket of water.








Lots of vocabulary with this projects.  We talked about bugs, butterflies, grass, frogs and sticky.  We had a great time.

    I love it! What a great item to use as grass. She looks like she had so much fun with the bugs! My daughter loves playing in spaghetti! Visiting from The Sunday Showcase.

    What a great activity ... fun and an awesome practical life and sensory experience! Thanks for linking up with Montessori Monday.

    We also tried a spaghetti sensory play this weekend and goblin was totally disinterested. He treated the pasta as if it was inconvenient packaging and carefully removed all the plastic animals. I guess you win some, you lose some. Looks like Adeline had fun though.
