[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Sounds like plastic, plastic, and more plastic. Please check your privelege and think about the planet. Those things will be on the planet 200 years after your child uses them for a year or two. Please consider more sustainable options than kooshes etc[/quote]
