Can you blame a kid when dirt is involved?
Here’s a little look at what we put inside our sensory tub. Most everything came from our local Dollar Tree or the Target dollar section.
~ Large plastic bin
~ Bag of potting soil
~ Trowel
~ Set of 3 mini terra cotta pots
~ Bug magnifying glass
~ Fake plants and flowers
~ Pebbles {to use as seeds}
~ watering can {not pictured}
~ Plant card/stakes {printed off from the Garden Preschool Pack, laminated, and taped to mini popsicle sticks}
~ bugs…courtesy of our children and not required.
I pulled apart the fake plants and flowers so that we could ‘plant’ them in our garden. The kids had much fun planting and staking the garden, adding a variety of bugs to the garden, and later watering the garden too!

I love this! We are covering planting and flowers, what great ideas!
Very thorough unit – Thank you! I think the Bible verse is supposed to be Mark 4 not Matthew 4???

The printable does reflect the correct reference. :) I just double checked to be sure. Thanks for helping though!
