Additional Information:
I prepared this sensory tub for the nursery lesson plan this Sunday and let J play with it. J usually isn't so keen on sensory tub, but it seems that now that he is close to 3 years old, he is more interested in playing with sensory tubs. He played with it for the first time on 31.12.2012 and he played with it for one of the longest periods. This evening, he played with it again, preferring to scoop the pasta than anything else. He also sorted the fruit and vegetables according to colors.
