Mixing: Rice and Eucalyptus

We did the rice and beans sensory bin idea again. Mixing up the bin - this time using a large saute pan. Also, since we have been a little sick around the house, I threw in a couple drops of Eucalyptus oil. It smelled great. I filled some Easter eggs with the rice which Alyssa enjoyed opening and spilling everywhere.

Quick thoughts:

• I was a little nervous doing it inside - but it was dreary, rainy and cold outside. The rice did get all over the kitchen (Alyssa was literally throwing handfuls...), but it wasn't very hard to sweep it all up. Don't be afraid of the mess.
• Abby is surprisingly quick at getting handfuls in her mouth! Slow progress (if any) on stopping mouthing. She is filling her diaper with rice now...
