Spring is here!

Well, at least for now....we've had freezing temps into May before, but we're hoping Spring is here to stay!  In honor of the weather, I set up a little sensory activity for Elle, using mini-terra cotta pots, fake flowers, a small shovel, and some inexpensive ground coffee (we found most of these items at the dollar store!).  She did a great job of shoveling the "dirt" into the pots and sticking in her flowers a few times, but then she just loved dumping the "dirt" back into the bowl and using her hands, so some great hand-eye coordination practice and a great sensory experience.  As you can see, she was too focused to look at the camera--I can't wait to plant some real flowers with her soon!
