Fall has officially arrived. To mark the occasion, I bought a sensory feast at Publix for the children to enjoy first thing this morning. I told them last night there would be a surprise for them. They love the anticipation, and it's a nice way to get the school day started.
- pumpkins (mini bag of 3) $3.99
- acorn squash $1.07
- cinnamon broom $3.99
- pears (2) $1.00
The nice thing is that we'll will be able to eat much of this later. Publix also had some lovely wheat stalks for around $3, but I was afraid they'd be too fragile. Maybe next year.
The boys thoroughly enjoyed inspecting all the objects, arranging (and re-arranging) them in a bowl, lining them up, and soaking in all their sensorial delights.
The corns make very interesting instruments (both the husks and the kernels).
The cinnamon broom is VERY fragrant. A little too much for me, actually. The children didn't seem to mind. It makes my husband hungry.
