Sensory Bins
Sensory play is an important part of child development. It helps kids to stimulate their senses and process the world around them.
You can make your own sensory bins at home from a large variety of things, including things you may already have around the house like:
- Uncooked Rice
- Dry Beans
- Dry Corn
- Popcorn kernels
- Cooked pasta
- Water beads
- Kinetic sand (check out this recipe to make your own!)
Once you have your sensory bin, let the kids play with it as if was a small sandbox. Want to add some excitement? Add beach or bath toys, cooking utensils, toy trucks, dolls, whatever your kids like to increase the fun!
