Sometimes open-ended, non-structured activities are the best kind for imaginative toddlers. I gave Logan the “ingredients” for an Easter themed water sensory activity and he played for a good hour, imagining up different scenarios and exploring. This was a last minute activity idea and I literally just wandered around the house picking out things we had laying around with an Easter-ish theme to dump in the sink. You could also find Easter-ish things at The Dollar Store. Water sensory play was a HUGE hit for my tot and something I plan on doing more often! Just prepare for a mess and let them splash their little hearts out.

Activity: Easter Water Sensory Play

Materials

Green Food Coloring

Bath Salts (I used lavender)

Scoops, Measuring Cups, Mixing Spoons

Plastic Easter Eggs (all sizes), Fake Flowers (I cut the stems off), Colorful Pom Poms, etc.

Instructions

As the sink is filling with water, add a couple drops of green food coloring and a small scoop of scented bath salts to the water. Place Easter or Spring themed items around the sink. Have your child stand on a step stool to reach the sink and allow them to explore! They can scoop and pour water and they can put pom poms inside of the plastic Easter eggs. They can stir their “ingredients” and they can plant flowers in their “water garden”. The possibilities are endless, just make sure to have a couple towels on hand to clean up the splashes (and a set of dry clothes too)!
