We couldn’t possibly do a polar unit study without a polar sensory bin, could we?
Above is a picture of the one I put together for my crew. I used Insta-Snow as the base material, and added metal and plastic spoons, colored flat marbles, a couple of animals from our Ocean TOOB , the globe from the top of the Toob packaging, some test tubes & mini petri dishes that we'd used before, and some small winter themed tubs.
So that was toobs, tubes, & tubs. Got it? ;)

If so, what have been some of your favorites?
