Sensory Table Ideas??

[LeslieG]

Anyone have any fun sensory table ideas? I care for a 2 and 3 year old who love the sensory table, but I need more ideas.

Also, any ideas that are baby-friendly? I care for two 1 year olds.

This blog has some sensory ideas for the littlest ones:

I also saw an idea for pretend "mud" the other day that I thought would be fun to do. It was baking soda, black food coloring, and just enough water to get to the right consistency. I'm wondering if the black food coloring would stain hands or clothes, but I'm going to try it anyway .

This one was fun, but messy: http://theimaginationtree.com/2011/0...spaghetti.html

I did ice yesterday with my babies and they LOVED it!!! Rice works well, oats, jello, grits, water, soapy water. I'm still experimenting. I just took over the classroom and started implementing activities and such about a month ago,
