Some ideas for your sensory table:

Pom Poms, Bottles, & Tongs:
Children use the tongs to pick up the colored pom poms and drop them into a bottle. This activity is good fine motor practice and hand-eye coordination. The bottles in the picture are Tazo drink bottles, which I chose because the opening was not too small and not too wide. I later replaced them with clear plastic bear-shaped honey bottles since our sensory table is on a hard floor and the Tazo bottles would break if they fell.

Trucks & Blocks with Sand:
Children can build a small village with the blocks and roll the trucks in the sand to make roads around their village.
