Here are some of the sensory bins I put together for my recent workshop. These are mini size bins for display. They are perfect for individual play/ therapy but can be made in larger containers for more children to play at once. I bought these containers at the dollar store, and I love them because they're a nice size and have really durable lids that stay put, so they're really portable.
Three Little Pigs
- Straw: Easter grass
- Sticks: small sticks from my yard
- Bricks: Lego blocks
- Wolf: fur fabric scraps
- Pigs: plastic toys
Paul Bunyan
- Base: pet bedding wood chips
- Lumberjack: plaid flannel scraps
- Logging Camp: Lincoln Logs
- Forest: pine cones, bark, branches
- Scent: pine air fresheners or maple extract
These bins are super easy to put together, and kids can even help come up with their own ideas and help gather materials. How cool would this be for a book report project?
