Hot Chocolate Pretend Play Box

Written by  Colleen

My love for sensory boxes is back with a new pretend play for G!

I put together a hot chocolate sensory box with a few things we had around the house and it was a total hit.

I used black beans from our sensory box supplies, some cups and a ladle from her play kitchen, and cotton balls for marshmallows!

She LOVED it and scooped up cups for us to "cheers" over and over.

We added a few extra cups and we talked about which cup had more and less. We also filled the purple cup and poured it into the blue cup to see which held more hot cocoa. Tons of fun pretend play and lots of great learning going on at the same time! Loved it!
