Bean Box

I don’t think I’ve posted about this yet at all, but back in December/January I made a bean sensory box for the boys!  I bought huge bags of all different kinds of dry beans from the store and a $2 Rubbermaid bin and we added our own scoops, cups, bowls, etc……basically it rocks and the boys LOVE it! 

We had put it down in the basement when we were cleaning out the kitchen for Riley’s birthday party and completely forgot about it until last week!  We’ve played with it every day since.

The thing I love about this is that they play differently with it every single time we open it.  And they completely lead the play and are happy and content to play with it for like 30 minutes at a time!

Even baby Kellen joined in!  He was pretty good with it too, he didn’t try to put any of them in his mouth and only after like 10 minutes of playing did he start throwing them.  Each day we play with it he throws less and less.

And now we like to put our feet in!
