Bugs in the Sensory Table

Back in September, when my class did a unit on Bugs, we did this Sensory Table activity. I have added this to the Bugs Unit webpage and the Sensory Table webpage.

I added about 3 bags of green Easter grass to the sensory table, and hid plastic ladybugs and ants in the grass. Each child at the sensory table used a pair of tweezers and a bug box. They searched through the grass to find the bugs, picked them up with tweezers, and placed them in their bug box.

It’s obvious that you are a very creative and dedicated teacher! The teaching profession needs more people like you to help inspire children! I love your ideas and I’ve used several of them. You’re making a difference not only in children’s lives but in the lives of the teachers you inspire!
