We finally got a "free" weekend (very rare around here) and decided to create a sensory table for Cooper! It was, of course, farm related.
As a family, we headed to Ankeny's new Fleet Farm and picked up a 50lb bag of whole corn. While we were at Fleet Farm we also found a new cow and dump truck . . . I was a little bummed with their very limited section of toys. Apparently their large section of farm toys will be in stock by mid-October . . . perfect timing for Christmas, I suppose.
Fleet Farm was out of the shallow plastic containers, so we made a stop at Menards for a few more things and to locate a plastic container. Of course Menards didn't have any, so we had to do another quick stop in search for a plastic container and WOO HOO, Wal-Mart had one! However . . . before heading home to setup this fun farm sensory table, we made another stop at Lemon Tree for some yummy frozen yogurt.
Once we got home, Nick dumped out all 50lbs of the corn into the container and I grabbed all the farm and truck toys to put in it. Cooper absolutely LOVED it! At first, he wanted to throw all the kernels out, but then he started to scoop and move his animals around in the corn. We had so much fun playing and laughing this afternoon around the little corn pit!
