Summer Sand and Sea Sensory Table

My usual sensory table themes for summer include water, but here I've decided to do something a little different. I collected all loose parts for this table! Blue and brown/tan-- the colors of ocean and sand! I sprinkled some plastic sea creatures in the "ocean" and set out two plastic containers each colored for water and sand. My 3 year old instantly started sorting parts by color. My 6 year old joined in the fun and made smiley faces with loose parts! My 2 year old simply had fun using the tongs and scoopers to collect and pour. We read a few ocean books and discussed animals living in and out of water. See what you can collect to make a simple, affordable sensory play space for summer!
