We usually go for a more "bunny" themed table around this time of year, however, this year we opted to use the most adorable crate and brown eggs and cartons from Target's dollar section! These are a bit different than what I would usually do for a sensory table; usually it's more about pouring, scooping, pinching, grasping with fingers and hands.
I decided to switch it up and put in our brown Easter grass (gifted to us by my kiddos' awesome OT). I added in the brown eggs, cartons and wooden crate from Target. I then added in white wooden eggs that I had bought for decoration (before kids) and two mini wire egg baskets to promote some pretend play, and of course a rooster. Should've been a hen... but we only had a rooster haha!! The kids liked this WAY more than I initially thought they would! One of them would "hide" the eggs in the "hay nest" or "coop" and then the others would search and find. My 3yo sorted the white and brown eggs, while my 6yo and 8yo pretended to be farmers collecting breakfast. After a few rounds of hiding, sorting and collecting, this led to an entire pretend play session of "Farmers Market" where they set up pretend foods and shopped like they were at a store- cash register and all!
