Vegetable Patch

This week in baby room we explored and created our own vegetable garden sensory bins. We were able to use and explore with all of our senses for this activity as everything in the trays were edible. We used spades and rakes to  dig out our carrots and potatoes and enjoyed looking at and exploring them, some of us even had a taste of the carrots. We then found a new texture when exploring the cress as the bottom of the plant felt slimy. There were lots of different smells within the tray as we mixed lots of dried herbs into our tray like bay leaves, sage and oregano. We also mixed in coffee that create a new smell and taste. We used our fine motor skills to pinch and sprinkle oats and coffee on top of our vegetables to plant them in our mixture. Well done babies what great exploring with our senses this week!
