Valentine’s Sensory Box

For my youngest charge’s rest time I normally put out a selection of toys for her to play with, this gives me a chance to rotate some of her toys that haven’t been played with in a while for ones that have.  Today I decided to put a Valentines sensory box in her room, as we haven’t had one out since the light box before Christmas.

Make sure you follow my Valentines board on Pinterest for more ideas.  Don’t forget to save the pin for later.

You will need:

• Container
• Rose petals
• pom poms
• Paper hearts

For this sensory box I filled it with heart cut outs, rose petals, a rose bud, red and pink pompoms and a mini heart shaped cake mould.  I arranged it on the floor of her room with some other toys (a colouring book and magnetic building shapes) in an invitation to play.

When we went up to her room after lunch, the first thing she went for was the sensory box, I managed to snap a picture and then left her too it.  I am not sure how much she played with it, but when I came back into the room she had de-petaled the rose bud and the cake mould was now full of pompoms and serving as a birthday cake for Eeyore. She asked to play with it again after swimming, so I am guessing she enjoyed playing with it.
