Last week, we explored the topic of construction in our play. Vehicles and construction tends to be something that interests my 3 year old son, more than my 5 year old daughter; however, I was pleasantly surprised that both kids dove into these activities and had a blast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Construction Trains Sensory Play<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We love our trains and wooden tracks and usually set up a big track to play with every few weeks. This time, I thought it would be fun to use our Tuff Tray and fill it with some sensory material to compliment the train track play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used our Brio Cargo Mountain set that my son got for his birthday last summer along with some very decadent construction sensory mixes from The Creative Mix to make this tray.  I added a few rocks, felt balls and trains\u2026 and that\u2019s it.  I love a toy<\/em> plus sensory base<\/em> activity.  It\u2019s so easy to set up and a great way to give new life to toys you already have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kids had a great time sending their trains down the track to pick up rocks and rubble and exploring what materials could fit in their train cars. They also added some farm accessories to the play and created some small world stories about animals taking rides on the train and bringing materials to the barn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
