Spring Games and Sensory Bins

Happy Spring! Our games this month were centered around all things spring! I included a picture of what all of our games looked like this month.

1.) Butterfly Hunt

For the first game, the kids got to dig foam butterflies out of petals. I was so proud of all the kids, especially the two's! Everyone did a great job with keeping the petals inside the bowls, and it was so much fun watching the kids discover the butterflies hiding inside. I found this wonderful idea here.

2.) Pom-Pom Caterpillar Drop

The second game was a cute little caterpillar, made out of scrapbook paper and toilet paper rolls.  I taped the caterpillar onto my bulletin board and then placed the pom-poms out below.  Now the kids could have fun dropping the pom-poms down through the caterpillar!  I forgot to take a picture of this, but you can visit this website to see it!

3.)  Rabbit Putt-Putt

I saw this adorable idea online, and decided to turn it into a putt-putt game.  I took an empty box and made a rabbit face and taped that to the front.  After that, all I did was place this against a wall and set out my putt-putt set.  The kids loved it!  

4.) Butterfly Pom-Pom Matching

I found this free template that you can download, and I just cut it out and taped it to the table.  I placed my pom-poms in a tray and the kids matched up each pom-pom to the corresponding butterfly.

5.) Bird and Nest Matching

I found this adorable set online that you can buy, but unfortunately we don't have a way to purchase this.  So I decided to come up with one on my own.  I hid my birds in yellow shredded paper.
