Frozen Sensory Bin
One of the things I really liked about this collection of letter q preschool activities is that I was able to repurpose 
most of the materials throughout all of our projects. I put this sensory bin together as the final activity of the week, and it was a big hit. Audra loved going through this Queen Elsa Sensory Bin finding “treasures” and then cleaning them off. I used a large bin with a lid that was intended for under bed storage. It has low sides and is a good size for multiple kids to participate. In addition to the marshmallows, gems, glitter, sequins, and Frozen figures we used throughout the rest of the week, I also threw in a bag of frozen Epsom salt. I made it cold by throwing it in the freezer for a few hours. This definitely isn’t a requirement for this to be a successful and fun activity, but it did add another interesting sensory experience. As you can see in the pictures, I also added some tools that we use with our water beads for some added fine motor practice.
Supplies:
- Frozen Figurines
- Sugar Cubes
- Mini Marshmallows
- Epsom Salt
- Sensory Bin (I used an under bed storage bin with lid)
- Gemstones
- Glitter
- Fine Motor Toys
Queen Elsa Castle Building Preschool Activity
I love watching the creativity and problem-solving skills of these kids flourish and grow. They all had so much fun building a castle for Queen Elsa & friends while they ate (too many!) marshmallows.
This Queen Elsa Castle Building activity was simple to set up and execute. I gave each kid a tray with mini marshmallows, sugar cubes, and toothpicks. For fun, I added glitter and stones from some of the other activities we did.
It took a little adult guidance to help the kids figure out how to hold the marshmallows to stick the toothpicks in, but once they figured that out, they were good to go. We had good conversations about how to make their structure more stable / larger on the bottom so that they could build it higher.
While they worked, we had a very enlightening conversation about Queens and their castles, as one can only have with three preschool girls.
These intense looks are in response to me telling them not to eat any more marshmallows. His faces make me laugh every day (which is exactly what he is going for!)
Wade also eventually got bored building the castles, so he bulldozed his. He loves tractors more than anything.
