The children have really been into sensory type play lately.
We recently expanded Hyrum's ball pit from Christmas to the swimming pool- adding two more bags of balls. It's not quiet enough to fill the pool, but they sure have fun with it anyway and they can all fit at the same time which solves a lot of problems.
(The extra legs in the pictures belong to a little friend.)
They also have been very interested in playing with some old, expired beans.
I pulled these out and set them on the floor with a few measuring cups and bowls and they were content while I made breakfast.
Hyrum is so excited about the beans, the ball pit, and also play dough. That he's constantly asking to play with one of them. It's nice to have him interested in something other than getting into my things. This morning he asked to play with the beans and I told he needed to wash the table and then put his blankets on his bed - then he could play with the beans. So, he promptly washed the table, put the cloth away and then ran (without prompting) to the living room, gathered his blankets and put them on his bed, and before I knew it he was back in the kitchen asking for the beans. I was very impressed that he remembered all those steps and got them done so fast!

My kids love all those things too! The beans look like lots of fun. Gideon is really into the sandbox right now and since the weather here is perfect for outside play right now I've been letting him sit in the sandbox just outside the back door while I work in the kitchen. We used to fill a pool with balls just like that!
