Easy Sensory Bin | Christmas Edition



Haddy had so much fun with the fall sensory bin that I decided to make her a Christmas one. This was super easy to put together, and Haddy enjoyed helping me. Here is what you will need to make your own Easy Sensory Bin.
            
                                                                   
 
a container
rice
red and green food coloring
a small amount of water
mini Christmas bows
jingle bells
some kind of "grabbers"



I made this short video so you can watch and see how we put it all together.



Both Brayden and Haddy have been playing with this bin since we made it. It helps to keep Haddy busy while I am working with the other kids. She likes to separate the bows from the bells and rehide everything in the rice when she is done. These easy sensory bins are not only entertaining but cheap to make and educational.

I hope you enjoy it. Make sure to come back in January for another themed sensory bin!

Easy Halloween Sensory Bin


I have a busy 4yr old. She hardly sits still and always wants to be doing something. She often interrupts when I am helping one of the other kids during our school day. She is bored and wants something to do to feel like one of the big kids. One way to keep her busy is sensory bins.

This easy pumpkin sensory bin keeps her and her brother busy. She has lots of fun and it is working out those fine motor skills. I had her use tweezers to pick up each item and sort them into 2 different pumpkin containers. Here is a list of things I used to make this bin.

  • Plastic bin or some other container 
  • Big bag of rice. You can also use beans or noodles. 
  • Pumpkin candy
  • Candy corn 
  • Preschool tweezers (link below)
  • 2 Pumpkin treat containers
