Ice Cream/Cupcake Shop Sensory Table

Materials Included:

Assorted Jumbo Pom Poms

Tiny pom poms for toppings (cherries, blueberries, etc)

Ice Cream Scoop

Plastic ice cream waffle bowls (I believe these were $5.99 for the 4 pack at Hobby Lobby and then I used my 40% which makes them very reasonable and they are super cute to use for real ice cream too!)

Play cupcakes (a friend actually crocheted mine for me some time ago so I just got lucky)

I must say, this has been one of my most "revisited" sensory tables I've made yet.  The girls just love playing ice cream shop/baker and have played it numerous days over and over again as you can see. This bin is great for working on those fine motor skills too. Bonus especially for the Little K! 

And for whatever reason, the really good tables always wind up with Little K climbing into them...

Cloud Dough Sensory Table

This was one of my favorite sensory tables of all time!  Ok, it was a favorite of all time for Big K too which is most important.  I mixed up some "cloud dough" and included some cupcake materials since it  was March in honer of Little K's 1st bday.  Big K had a blast making "cupcakes" for her sister.


Materials Included:

Cloud dough (recipe found below)
cupcake liners
candles
sprinkles (with lid still attached so only for pretend)

No it was probably not safe for my child to be placing candles in her ears but I let her keep them in long enough to capture a picture because I had to hand it to her that it was quite creative and cute. =)



Recipe for cloud dough:

8 Cups of Flour
1 Cup Baby Oil

That's it!  Mix it together.  It will be crumbly but when you play and form it with your hands it molds together and comes back apart easily too! 

Note: This one wasn't a great table for Little K to actually "play" in yet.  She just wanted to eat it all the time and as you can imagine, baby oil tastes quite nasty!  I plan on trying it again in several months when she'll hopefully be more ready!
