I used black aquarium rocks, glow in the dark stars, and some black rocks (moon rocks) that I picked up on the beach.  I also got an astronaut kit and a tube of planets from amazon! 

Ugli Fruit Sensory

  Have you ever wondered what an ugli fruit looks like inside?

 Well here it is!  

 The inside peels out very easily!

This is how the kids described the ugli fruit:
Sight - "It looks like a big pear."
Touch - "It's squishy."
Smell - "The outside smells like a flower" and "The inside smells like an orange."
Taste: - "It tastes like a grapefruit". 

We also learned that ugli fruit comes from an island called Jamaica!

Makin' Mud Pies

What's Inside the Egg? Game

I printed out pictures of the seven items that I put in each egg, marbles, beans, marshmallows, rice, macaroni, and dice.  Then I punched out the colors of each egg I had.  I glued felt on the back of the egg cut-outs and the pictures.  Then I shook the eggs and the kids had to match the color of the egg with what they thought was in it.  All the pieces fit nicely inside the carton for storage!

Ducks in the water

Playing with Ducks in the Water

Slime

 

This stuff is so cool!  It melts in your hands, but it also feels hard to the touch!  GREAT for sensory!

Recipe for Slime:

1 16oz. box of cornstarch
1 1/2 cups water
food coloring

In a large bowl put in cornstarch.  I add the coloring to the water and then dump it in.  You have to knead it to get it to mix together.  It has such a weird texture, but the kids love it!

"Magic Snow"

Green Gak!

Recipe for Gak:

1 cup glue
1 cup liquid starch
food coloring

Mix together in a bowl.  There will look like there is a lot of extra liquid.  Knead the mixture with your hand and the liquid will eventally soak in.

Snow Castles

 We brought snow inside and made snow castles!
