Toddler Tuesday: Bugs

 This week we are continuing to work in the gardens. Our sensory bin was supposed to be noodles, but I never made it to the store. So instead I turned our dirt bin from last week into a buggy filled mud bin.
After playing in the mud it was time to clean up with a warm soapy bug wash.
 
Our days this week are filled with a lot of heavy outdoor work. Panda responds well with physically active work in his therapy for a Sensory Processing disorder. Here he is helping with the gardens. After helping me clear out all the old plants he decided to go plant a few dinosaurs ; )
These are our books this week. Log Hotel is a wonderful book. It is about the stages of a decomposing log. The words are short and the pictures are exquisite.
 
Last of all I made a Log Hotel for Panda to play in. He has stuffed bugs in a basket that I always leave out. They are his "Acceptable toys for throwing" that I try to redirect him to when he gets into the throwing mood. This week they are being thrown and crawling through his tunnel. That's it for this week. I'm in a bit of a hurry this morning. A woman from the district is coming over to assess Panda, if he qualifies he may be getting some help for his speech delay. Fingers crossed for us. Have a blessed day, and Shine on!

      Hi Kim, it sure has. Though most days are still cold and rainy. Hopefully we can plant soon.

    What fun! We're big on heavy physical work around here too. Good luck with the assessment. And I hope those dinosaurs grow well for you. I wonder how big they will get? ;)
