Sensory Bin
Pigs in the mud

You'll need:
a tray or cookie sheet
toy pigs
chocolate pudding

Pour some pudding out on a tray and either put the pigs in the pudding or put them next to the tray for your child to put in the pudding. Have them pretend to play with the pigs in the mud.

However, if you're not okay with this...

...I wouldn't recommend it. Boy did they have fun though!
