Ahh, a little heart sensory tub. My toddler loves to investigate things, and sensory tubs are fast turning out to be the most popular.

This sensory tub, although very shallow, was a hit.

How to make this Valentine’s Heart Sensory Tub

In this heart sensory tub I have:

  • Color rice in shades of red and pink (learn how to make color rice)
  • Sparkly pom-poms
  • Clear plastic rocks
  • Plastic hearts in red, pink and purple
  • Foam hearts in red, pink and purple in various sizes

We also added some cups for good measure. 😉 My toddler loved to lift the items high up and drop them back into the tub, watching them fall.

Some “tea” was had with the pom-poms after feeling them with their little soft spikes.

Just look at those little pom-pom spikes!

For toddlers at this age (mine is 20 months), they love to pack things in bags and stick things in holes. I find this a great opportunity to encourage packing away!

packing away is just as fun as playing
