Easter Sensory Play - Water Beads, Lights & Plastic Eggs!
This sensory activity from Allison of Train Up a Child looks like so much fun! A mixture of colorful water beads, submersible lights, and plastic Easter eggs in assorted colors - we think she created the jackpot of sensory activities!
What we love...
- Your preschoolers will love the soft and squishy, yet smooth feel of the water beads. By themselves, water beads are engaging and even a relaxing. Added to this fun Easter themed bin, they are sure to compliment the other elements.
- Plastic Easter eggs are a common addition to lesson plans around the holidays. Great for fine motor building, your kiddos will get a chance to open and close, as well as fill and dump the colorful eggs. [This might also offer a great opportunity for a lesson in gentleness!]
- We know your preschoolers will enjoy observing the lights - swirling them in the tub, adding them to the eggs, etc.
A great sensory exercise, right?! For a full list of materials - and tips on where to find everything - be sure to visit Train Up a Child!
