Sensory Activity for multiple aged kids to enjoy- cereal in the pool

I am always trying to think of things my kids can both play with.  Today I had a few half eaten snack boxes and bags I was thinking of throwing away.  No one had been eating them and in another week they would be stale.  I had a thought of just filling up their beach buckets with the snacks and letting them play. What a great sensory substance to play with-food:-) This way if my youngest ate it it was ok.  Not like sand and rocks that my oldest loves to play with and his little brother gets left out.  So I washed their beach toys and trucks.  Then filled the buckets and put it all in their pool on the porch.  My oldest got to start playing before his brother woke up and was having a lot of fun.  When little brother was up he went out to play too.  He was more into his milk then playing but he did have fun too!
