What’s in the Tub ~ Pets

Next month our theme at Totally Tots is Pets.  Here are some ideas for you to use in a sensory tub with your little one to explore the theme up close and personal.   

What’s in the Tub?: 

• cedar shavings
• Safari Pets Toob
• feline fancy buttons
• dog stuff buttons (I got mine from Michaels)
• small hamster dish
• dog house made from small cardboard box
• small blanket 
• toilet paper tube

 

So, what fun things did we do with the tub? 

• We identified all of the pets.
• Counted them and counted the buttons.
• Grouped our pets together that have fur, scales, and feathers.
• Talked about what kids of food each pet likes to eat.

We also talked about which pets live mainly in water.

Which pets like to climb ~ birds, lizards and cats (not the bunny),

and about pets that like to have hiding places.
