I didn't plan on making a garden themed sensory tub. I saw one floating around on pintrest. I even posted about it on the blog's Facebook page.
Then we decided to plant a vegetable garden and saw the disappointment when Junebug realized she could dig in the dirt once the seeds were planted.
I then decided I should make a garden sensory tub so she could plant seeds, water them, dig them up and plant all over again.
I used things for this bin we already had from our outside toy collection. I did make the garden labels and seed packets. See the below DIY instructions.

The seed packets were made from a regular envelope.
I simply cut it down the middle and glued the sides together.
I trimmed the edges so both sides were at an angle.
I added the same picture from the garden labels I made.
Then I added regular beans to represent the seeds.
I am sure these envelopes will need to be replaced once they are covered in water.
But, they were so easy to make.
I filled the bin about a 1/4 full with Topsoil.
I placed everything in the bin.
Including plastic vegetables and flowers to match the garden labels.
She loved planting the flowers. She requested more for the bin.
I got the sunflowers from the Dollar Store.
Love this idea for gardening.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a sensory bin, we did a similar spring sensory bin a few weeks ago. Thanks for sharing! Have a wonderful weekend!!
