This season, we have some novice readers in our house here! So, I've been trying to pair our sensory tables with some Early Reader books and this "I Spy Santa Claus" book was the perfect fit for our newest Christmas Table. I sat with my 4 and 6 year old and read through the book first, having them identify sight words and sound out words that they tried reading independently, while answering the riddles. Then... we made our own "I Spy" game! I would mix up a few items in the table and give them a quick riddle. i.e. "I Spy something round, shiny, and red." I made a few harder ones for my 6 year old-- i.e. "I Spy something living, but it doesn't breathe." They had so much fun with this! Then of course, my 2 year old joined in and loved sorting and scooping all of the loose parts and pinching the clothespins and collecting the Santas! Overall, this table is a huge win in my book!
