Sensory bins don’t have to be complicated!
✨ With just a few simple materials, you can create an engaging play activity that supports learning, creativity, and development right at home.
3 easy steps to make a sensory bin:
1️⃣ Choose a main filler – Try dried beans, rice, pasta, pom-poms, or kinetic sand.
2️⃣ Add a few simple tools – Scoops, cups, spoons, tongs, toy animals, or a tea set all encourage hands-on exploration.
3️⃣ Let your child play! – There is no “right” way to explore. Follow their lead and let curiosity do the work.
Sensory bins are a wonderful way to build fine motor skills, language, sensory exploration, imaginative play, and so much more—all through play!
