Space Sensory Bin and Command Center

We are officially launching Space Week here in Tiger's Tot School

 Imagine if suddenly he decides that he isn't into space anymore?

*faint*

Here's the space sensory bin I put together before bedtime

The Space Bin is very simple.

• Black beans as base. 
• Glow-in-the-dark Moon, Sun and Stars
• Mommy-made felt planets
• Some small prickly pom-poms



The Sensory Bin is placed at Tiger's Space Command Center, which is really his Art Center :p

Here's what I did:

On the wall:

I stuck a space poster (from Popular bookstore) on his dry erase board (from Becon Stationery)

Then I covered his art material with a piece of black felt. To reduce distractions/space statics :p

On the floor:

I just lined the floor with some shiny, foil paper, meant for outdoor use (from Daiso).

On it are his illuminated globe (from ELC), sensory bin and some space-themed books.

Note: The gorgeous globe is currently on half price promotion!

Books

I rummaged through our collection and found these:

A space touchy-feely book

Papa, Please Get The Moon For Me (Tiger loves this book)

Berenstain Bear's On The Moon (Chinese & English version)

Fact books (for EK) Planet Earth Question & Answer Book

Scholastic 1000 Things You Should Know About Space

Update: 03 April 2012

He LOVES his space center!!!!!!!!!!!

His fav activity, asking the slave (that's me) to name the planets over and over again

and again.....Not that I mind ^.^

This is his favourite bin to date.

Hooray!

He thinks it's funny to hear me say, "ladle"
