momstown Milton Babies enjoyed water sensory play at our Baby Sensory Exploration Program

Babies love water!  Our momstown Milton Baby Sensory group recently had a wonderful time splashing around with a water bin filled with colourful toys! 

Water sensory bins are a simple way to engage your child's playfulness, curiosity, and sense of adventure.  

Our bin was filled with foam letters, sponge shapes, plastic and squishy balls, and boats.  We spread a plastic table cloth under the play area and had some towels on hand for bigger spills.  The little ones had a blast playing in the water. They loved splashing with their hands and feet, and interacting with one another as they played with the balls and toys.

All of the babies started with their clothes on, but soon the mamas saw that wearing only diapers was a better plan! 

The little ones enjoyed standing in the water with help from mom.  This quickly moved on to sitting in the bin.  They were having so much fun that it was difficult for them to wait their turn!

Now that summer is approaching, it is a great time to create a backyard water table.  It need not be fancy - a Rubbermaid container and some toys is really all you need!

Regardless of season, you can have sensory fun with your kids every bath time! Try bringing new toys into the tub, even items from the kitchen can be really fun for little ones in the bath - ladles, funnels, a plastic turkey baster for squirting water, etc.  Adding a couple of drops of food colouring to the bath water, and/or a half teaspoon of a cooking extract like peppermint or vanilla can really add to the sensory experience of bath time.
