A Hunting We Will Go
Fill your sensory table with green plastic grass. Hide small animals in
the grass and have the children locate them. Categorize the
animals into groups. Or, fill a large cookie tin with plastic grass and
hide the bugs inside. Have the children match the bugs they find
to pictures of the real bugs.
