Back in September, when my class did a unit on Bugs, we did this Bugs Sensory Table activity.
I added about 3 bags of green Easter grass to the sensory table, and hid plastic ladybugs and ants in the grass. Each child at the sensory table used a pair of tweezers and a bug box. They searched through the grass to find the bugs, picked them up with tweezers, and placed them in their bug box.

Thanks so much for sharing all your creative ideas with us! I have been teaching grade R for 30 years and with every theme I am so excited to see new ideas I can try in my class. We are doing the bugs theme this week and I can’t wait to see there faces when they work at the sensory table looking to find the bugs.
Thank you so much!!
