 Alternatively I have also come up with this great quiet time activity inspired by 'What Miss Mitchell Saw' and the popular 'I Spy' series. I had a left over jar (thanks Bread Hive!) though I recommend plastic in case we drop them. I filled mine with glitter, star sequins, and foam space stickers I stuck together, black beans, and dyed rice. The stars, black beans, dyed rice, and glitter were meant to give it the feel of the night sky! Before assembling the 'hidden' objects, my space foam pieces, I made a list, can you find: Two orange planets, a planet with three rings, four astronauts, etc. But you can make your jar any theme, with any 'hidden' objects. Small toys, Dollar Tree items, Marbles, etc. filled with beans, rice, glitter, or Styrofoam pellets! What will you make? Ps, to dye my rice for my jar (or sensory bins!) I use this great recipe below: Colored rice

All you need is some colored paper, sticks (I used skewers), clear tape, black marker, and scissors. I went to town making some fun weird shaped "n's" and domes for leaves. I filling in some with black shapes, lines, dots, dashes, etc. I cut them out not really minding how much of the green was showing around them as I went.
