Carrot Feet Art Project
Oliver has a weird thing about his feet. Anytime we have a sensory bin out he always tries to put his feet in it. When he's outside, he never keeps his shoes on. Puddles? He's splashing around in them barefoot. I'm not entirely sure why he loves it but he does! So when we started [...]
