Activity 1. Frozen Pea Sensory Bin Play
As far as sensory bins go, this one is the easiest to prepare. All you need to do is grab a bag out of the freezer and pour it into a tub.
Having a sensory bin filler that is so cold, added a new dimension to this activity. It also gave me a new way to cool down on hot summer days. During heatwaves, when it’s too dangerous to go outside, I place the rainbow rice in the freezer for a few hours. We still get to have some fun while cooling down at the same time.
Activity 2: Small World “Apple” Farm
My son recently got a toy tractor and wagon (he loves trucks and cars), and I thought that frozen peas looked like perfect little apples that we could farm and carry around in his new tractor.
This idea proved very popular. So we got all of his construction toys out of the sandpit and had a lot of fun with our apple farm small world play. Having the peas start frozen, meant that they didn’t disintegrate with all of the scooping, moving, and being run over by big trucks. Next time I’ll make some ‘crates’ for the apples using old tissue boxes, that he can then stack. Or possibly add a tub of water so that we can wash the apples, I’ll wait for summer before I try this one though.
Activity 3: Now un-frozen peas hammering
We’ve been having a lot of fun hammering lately. We did hammer painting recently, which was a huge success. I’ve also been letting the kids dive into the pots and pans to make a bit of noise.
Once the peas are defrosted and mushy, they are perfect for hammering. If you’ve got a rainy day, then this will be a fantastic high-energy burner for your kids to enjoy.
