They have these primary color trays/tubs that we use for everything. They are approximately 2 inches deep and and 9x12 inches. We put felt in the bottom of these to cut down on noise of dice or other manipulatives. I also use these trays as mini sensory tubs for independent work. For instance, in the spring I pull out items from the sensory table...plastic frogs, plastic plants, small terra cotta pots, rocks, etc. and place them in four or five of these trays. I put felt in the bottom of the trays. (I also use the felt to cut up little mud puddles and ponds for imaginary play.) Also, we use felt to give a tactile element to our books...ladybugs, apples, etc. Enjoy!Kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210977528933434526.post-59464150878485121812012-08-02T15:12:02.891-05:002012-08-02T15:12:02.891-05:00My-o-my Laura!!!

I also cut 4 inch squares and we use them to erase our dry erase boards. You could make a pillow with some for your chair. You can cut out a rainbow and some color words for them to match.

Or maybe for the kids to use in a self-portrait-they love to "design" their clothes.<br /><br /><a href="http://notjustchildsplay.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">NotJustChild'sPlay</a>Miss Trayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994698870486768685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210977528933434526.post-61381938731594907692012-08-01T21:34:40.975-05:002012-08-01T21:34:40.975-05:00You can use your school die cut machine and cut mu...You can use your school die cut machine and cut multiples of the same image. For example you can cut 5 frogs and do the 5 little speckled frog song. I cut out lots of little fish and I use them for an addition/ subtraction station. I have a little fishbowl that the kids use to put the fish in and out. You can cut multiples of anything and use them as math manipulatives. <br /><a href="http://kindergartenlovesme.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">KindergartenLove</a>.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02662545918193814823noreply@blogger.com
