Space Sensory/Discovery Box

As I was gathering ideas for my space sensory box, I decided that I didn’t want to buy anything. I wanted to make it NOW. So typical of me. I started gathering some odds & ends and that’s what I went with. I realized I have plenty of great things to use for this theme. I did go out & buy the spaced themed TOOB set to add to this {not pictured}.

What’s in it:

• Davinci star shaped pasta colored with Handy Art Liquid watercolors – gray, black, metallic, yellow/gold
  
• crumbled foil
  
• bubble wrap
  
• spoons/tongs
  
• little foil pie plates
  
• marbles, bouncy balls {I wanted to include them but I’m very against having these items out}
  
• stones
  
• beads
  
• IKEA bag clips {these things are awesome for whatever you use them for!}
  
• black & white connecting cubes – not sure what they’re called?
  
• white balloons filled with flour
  
• spice jars filled with star beads
  
• plastic cups
  
• 2 astronaut toys & NASA truck, shuttles that were my husband’s {he’s almost 41!}
  
• green slinky pop toobs {cut in pieces}

Too many things? Maybe, but I guess there’s no rules and my kids loved it! The 5 boys dug right in and it was QUIET. Everyone was busy.
Favorite items? Spice jars, bubble wrap and flour-filled balloons.
Use what you have! I love going down in to my basement and seeing what I come up with. Lots of stuff down there.
