Play In The Dirt - Construction Sensory Tub

Construction Sensory Tub

July 23, 2008

I wasn’t going to include this activity on the site but my son’s continual begging to play in the “Dut” convinced me to share it!

Gather your materials. I grabbed an old box we got at Costco but any low edged container will do. I filled it with some crushed rock my husband was using to make us a patio, but sand, mulch or soil will be fine too. I wanted it to be something earthy though since so often we use dried beans and pasta. Then I added some construction vehicles and a shovel and pail.
Encourage your child to fill the pail, dig with the shovel and use the diggers and dozers. In all honesty I had to do nothing to encourage my son, he loved every bit of getting filthy!
Have a bath ready, your little one will need it!
