Preparing the Fall Drip Ice Cake Sensory Bin
To prepare this autumn drip ice cake sensory play experience first freeze water into ice shapes. Use molds such as Ice cube trays, margarine and yogurt containers, and an ice cream pail. Allow one or two days for the freezing to be complete.
Next, pick a sensory bin to use. A large active world tray is up to the task and provides ample room to explore accessories. A round saucer sled is smaller but also works well as a sensory bin.
Then add tempera paints in fall colors to small bottles. Leave a little room in the bottles to stir in water. This slightly thins the paints and makes them easier to pour.
When the ice shapes are thoroughly frozen stack the large ones on top of each other to create a three or four-tier cake.
_______
Afterward, spread ice cubes in various sizes around the cake in the bin. Then set dinosaur figurines among the cubes.
