Digging for Treasure

Last week I took J outside to help me pick weeds in our flower beds.  Ever since, J has been asking me to dig in the dirt.  Everyday we go out to the yard and dig.

So, I took his love of digging and put together a fun sensory tray just for him.

We were out of potting soil, so I took dirt from our flowerbeds and added a layer of dirt into a plastic box.  Inside the box, I hid a few treasures for him to find and gave him a shovel.

He loved digging around and finding all the fun stuff hidden inside.

Since I used dirt from our flower beds, there were all kinds of neat stuff inside.  We founds a few worms, a spider, and lots of roots.

After J found all of the treasure, he cleaned the dirt off, lined them up, and counted them.

This activity was so much fun for J and he played most of the afternoon digging in his sensory box.  I highly recommend this activity.  It’s so much fun, plus it’s simple and I bet you already have everything you need.

Come on over to Facebook and Instagram to see how else we play!
