Artic Sensory Bin

I say this every time but this really was probably my favorite sensory bin to date!  I decided we had to do this after our amazing visit the the Artic exhibit at the Zoo!  It all started to melt and move before I got pictures but this one looked REALLY cool and you two both thought so.  I used blue water, ice, marshmallows, fake snow, and these “scent crystals” in the cleaning section of the $ store.  It made for a total sensory experience: sight, sound (ice melting and the crystals melting), smell (which was BAD) and taste (unfortunately Charlotte sampled).  Lyla, you went right for the BIG iceberg while Charlotte went for the little marshmellows and delicately plucked them out.  So indicative of your personalities.  We talked about the polar bear we saw at the Zoo and the Artic.  At one point Lyla, you did the motion of swimming backwards that the polar bear did at the Zoo!  It cracked me up.
