Red, White and Blue - Sensory Play

Since it is a big day for us Americans.  I thought it would be fun to put together a red, white and blue sensory tote.  I already had everything on hand from 4th of July and the Olympics this past summer.  

 I filled two patriotic hats with white beans.

Then loaded it with all the other goodies like, beads, pom poms, bracelets, star clappers, flags and more!

Plus, of course, tongs and ice cube trays for transferring.
