Hello Autumn!

I found myself with lots of Autumn materials left over from a wedding at work where their colour scheme was orange and brown to tie in with their Autumn wedding. Together with the pine cones and conkers we had found I created a baby sensory box in an old food crate which I thought adding a bit of rustic charm to it. It reminded me of harvest time and apple picking :)

I thought the colours looked beautiful together and I added some orange ribbons I had to add extra texture as well as real flowers left over from the wedding, especially as lil E loves flowers at the moment. This discovery sensory box provided lil E with lots of different textures and opportunities for further discovery and play. For example, one of her favourite games in to put items from one box into another.

This box was very quick and basic as I happened to find myself with lots of things I didn't quite know what to do with but lil E had lots of fun and it was a nice way to introduce her and involve her in the fun of the changing seasons, even if she is too young to take much notice of nature changing around her.

And who doesn't love the changing seasons and seeing all these beautiful colours together!?
