SHARE THIS POST:

Today we launched full force into Spring with a gardening sensory tub. Initially, I thought we’d be doing this tub indoors, but we lucked out with the weather today. We used a 28-quart storage container.

We collected rocks on the beach yesterday. Last night I painted them so my preschooler could hunt for the rock letters and spell S-P-R-I-N-G and E-A-R-T-H.
