Ice

I wanted to explore with ice - but not in the sensory bin - I wanted it to be out on a table where they could pour and measure, and spill, and see melting.  But i knew to put it out on a table would just be a wet mess - and I didn't want to use towel because that would defeat the melting purpose.  I found an oil drip pan at Walmart for 10 dollars.  It fit perfectly over my table and had about an one inch lip on it.  It caught all the water perfect and was stable enough to pick up and carry it to pour it our.  I have big plans for this tray in the future.  Plus I kind of love that it is stainless steel!

And they got right to work scooping and pouring and exploring the ice.
