Animal Sensory Box

Can't get to the zoo because of the weather?  That's ok!  We made a zoo sensory box.  I need to get a bigger tub to make a decent sensory box but for now the 99 cent shoe box size one will work.  We poured oats in it and put in our animals and snakes.  She had a blast playing in the oats and moving the animals over it.  Sometimes she hid the snake under the oats she she had to dig it out.

You can see the safari hat beside her, but she preferred the koala mask instead.  The mat you see her on is a plastic/vinyl table cloth I got on clearance.  It gives her a designated place to play with her sensory box and once she's done I just gather up the sides and funnel it all back into the box...quick clean up.
