[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 18 month old loves anything "sensory" - she wants her shoes off in the grass and sandbox.  Last Tuesday she got a big scratch on her arm from hugging a rose bush!  We started a sensory class when she was about a year old - lights, music, loud drumming, balls and an activity like a pool of spaghetti or finger paints or water beads.  I just watch her closely and tell her not to put the thing in her mouth and she minds.

Her nanny set up various sensory bins for her outside - those huge, shallow Sterilite under the bed storage bins with lids.  DD loves playing out there! [/quote]

Uhmm...I put a slide, a hose, a bag of river rocks, a mud pit, and a sandbox outside.  My kids love playing out there too.  I don't get the "sensory bin" thing.  What is in there?

Haha !  We have a slide, a hose (and sprinklers that she loves), a whole side of the house of rocks and a sandbox, too!  In her sensory boxes she has water beads, colored rice, koosh balls and stretchy worms, puffs, and a box of dried beans.  They are just for fun and sensory experiences - no big deal.  She loves them!  And so do all her friends who come over for play dates.   [/quote]
