As I mentioned in my last sensory basket post I was running out of ideas. Many really liked the
red basket and suggest I do the other colors. I would love to continue on with that but I don't have a lot of baby proof items in other colors at the moment-except possibly blue (possible idea for the next one). Scouring the blog world I found baskets with letters of the alphabet theme. Why didn't I think of this? I struggled with starting with A but decided to go with B since that is what my tot's (well actually 10 1/2 months old) begins with. This sensory basket is chalked full of goodies. Once I started finding things that begin with B I couldn't stop!!!

The B basket it all its glory! |
|
The B items are:
|
I took a large picture of "B" and put it in a page protector with a piece of cardboard behind it so it won't bend. |
|
On the other side is a pic of the two brothers. Each one I put a foam B on the outside and taped the sleeve shut. |
|
Felt Barn & Boy, Wooden Bird, Large Letter B, B Block, Boat, Blue Bootie, Binky, Rattle with Bells, & Plastic Bead Ring |
|
Glass jar with buttons and wooden letter b (good for rattling) |
|
Board Book, Bag with a Bow, Gift Bow, Brush, and Foam Brush (one of his fave toys) |
|
Large letter B puzzle piece w/ bear on it, teddy bear, baby bear figurine, and sponge bear |
|
Blue ring and circle, blue block, and blue sensory bottle (from nature basket) |
|
Box with stackable blocks, two balls, and a badge |
|
Mardi Gras Beads (so far his favorite) and a bag of beans and a magnet letter B (taped shut of course) |
I told you this basket was a little over the top. The letter idea is so clever and now I think I have ideas ranging from ABC's, Shapes, and Colors to last me a little while. I am curious what others do with their children who are under 18 months old?
fabulous! This was chock-full of FUN! Now you have 25 more boxes to make!! have fun with the ABC's! :)
