Since June is beach weather I decided on a beach theme this month.  It only took Gosling a few minutes to find the new box full of sea shells, star fish and coral.  She takes them out, one by one, investigating as she goes, then she puts them back in the box.  These are real items so being gentle was something for us to work on. Her favorite item is the star fish, partly because she knows it's name and partly because it feels so neat.
