It’s a small truck world!

We’ve done a few sensory bins here and there but I’ve recently heard about small worlds that incorporate sensory bin ideas.  I love this idea!  I found our truck Zoob tube and decided the first one would be for trucks.  After that, everything fell into place.  I loved making this small world and guarantee I will be making more!

I started off with a plastic bin from one of the boys drawers.  It’s one of those that you can get at Target and Walmart.  First I glued down the rock wall.  I tested it before hand to make sure that I could get the glue up once we were done.  The rocks we just collected from outside.  On the right I taped down black construction paper for the road.  Then I dyed some rice green for grass and added it around the road.  Last I made some cloud dough and added construction trucks for a construction zone.

The boys dug right in when I presented it to them.  Their favorite was the construction zone too!

They played together in the small construction zone!  I’m thinking of remaking it with just the construction part!

There’s our first small world!
