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!

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