Look At What Came In The Mail! I'm Giving One Away!

Can't Wait To Show My Students:

You can win this entire set.
They are going to LOVE this!

First, I'll be sharing this product with teachers who attend my session on July 9 at I Teach K called "It's A Great Day For Science!"  I'll be showing teachers how to integrate ELA and MATH into SCIENCE lessons so you don't have to skip science because you don't have time.  (You can still register for I Teach K and get 10% off by using the code Nat10.)
This is the dinosaur set.
This FUN product will help me teach so many things!  You can watch the short YouTube video by clicking HERE. 
The dinosaur set comes with all of these things!

Then, I will introduce this set to my class on the first week of school.  This will go perfectly on my Sensory Table and  will go beautifully with my 5 Senses unit.  (But we won't eat it!)
You can buy it in a kit like this one.

It will also go well with my "Solid, Liquid, and Gas" unit.  Is it a solid or a liquid?   I can almost pour it!  And is it really alive?  I have seen it move!  
This kit comes with all of these things!

Where I Found Sands Alive:

I discovered this amazing sensory activity product at JoAnn's crafts, but it's also available online.
It's on sale right now at JoAnns and you can use your teacher discount on sale items! 
You can also find it sold in bags without the tray and extra tools.
You can also find it by clicking HERE.  They also have a short video you can watch.
From the minute I touched it and discovered how soft and unusual it was I knew my students would be all over this!  
It's soft and feels different from anything else you have ever felt.

But best of all, it can sit out and it WON'T DRY OUT!!!  How many times have you had to throw away dried out Play-Doh?  Right?
Squeeze it to mold it into shapes.

Sands Alive is clean, it won't stick to your hands or carpet, and it feels GREAT!
Tons of FUN!

  1. I heard about this amazing stuff earlier this spring. I know my kinder-bears would be so excited to use this sand in many different ways in the classroom. I have several students with very limited fine motor skills. Using this sand with moulds and free-form would be a fun way to strengthen little hands and fingers. At other times, this will be an incredible addition to our sensory boxes. I know my kinders will be using objects in our sensory tubs for models, too. Thanks for reminding me how much I want to add this to my class in the fall.

  7. I've been looking for this stuff everywhere! How many packages do you think it'll take to fill the bottom of a sensory bin? Maybe I can find a grant for this... :)

  14. I got some and love using it for my students. I had a student who was severely Autistic/ADDHD and had sensory integration issues. This was gold to him and I ended up getting $100.00 dollars worth so he was able to really explore with it. Well worth the investment-everyone made 3d shapes and then explored.
