Frog Pond Sensory Play

Frog Pond Sensory Play | Mama Papa Bubba

This week Miss G and I have been enjoying an old favourite – some slimy frog pond sensory play!  It’s funny how some things just never seem to get old…  I love that about play – it sort of just evolves with the child as she grows and changes herself.

Frog Pond Bath

5 / 14 / 135 / 18 / 13

Frog Pond Bath | Mama Papa BubbaOne thing I love surprising Grae with is a fun, playful baths before bedtime.  While sometimes that means simply giving her a little container of epsom salts to sprinkle into her tub or putting a couple of drops of food colouring into the water, and other times it means something a little more elaborate (some of our favourites are glow-in-the-dark baths, balloon baths, and ocean-themed baths).  This one, inspired by a frog pond sensory bin I put together for a messy play date we hosted, converted her bathtub into a lovely frog habitat.

IMG 9817Gracen absolutely adored this bath and had great fun seeing how many frogs she could balance on a lily pad at once. 

IMG 9804After the bath was done, we simply scooped everything up and put it into an empty plastic bin to dry out.  The best part is that next time we’re in need of a sensory bin, all we’ll have to do is add water!
