Sensory Bin of Polar Animals and {Learn & Play Link Up}

Here’s a sensory small world invitation to play I set for the kids, polar animals! We’re having “Polar Animals” for January and decided to start the tub early.  The boys were ecstatic upon seeing this!  How can they not? Even I enjoyed playing with these little figures!

Benefits:

• sensory activity
• counting
• learning the names of polar animals
• literarcy and vocabulary words
• camouflage, animal colors that blends with their environment (blue, black, white, brown)
• arctic animals are different from the animals in Antarctica
• penguins are birds and can swim

What’s in the tub?

• Playmobil Penguin Superset
• Safari Toob Penguins
• Safari Toob Arctic
• Schleich Sea Lion and Polar Bear
• Duplo Zoo
• Blue nuggets gems
• Packaging foam peanuts

Here are the details:  we have a pool for the penguins!  Kids love to play with water and this was really the main attraction in our tub.   Our tub even comes with an Antarctic bird!

The kids enjoyed sliding the penguins into this mini slide and enjoys all the splashing!  We queue the penguins in the stairs, a lesson for “waiting for your turn”.

A closer look!

I love the effect of the pool, it has a fountain on the side!

 

And we have penguin chicks feeding on fish.
