My boys love sensory bins! They are always excited when I invite them to dig in and do whatever they want with every setup.
Now that Spring is finally here (yay!), here’s a simple Spring-inspired sensory bin that I set up last year.
I had a lot of fun setting this up since we just got our flisat table all the way from The Netherlands. I never thought I would be this excited to unbox a kid’s table.
Let’s set up a Spring sensory bin:
Materials needed:
- Colored papers; orange, green and white
- Yellow foam paper
- Orange small pom-poms
- Glue
- Cricut (optional), you can also use scissors
- Flisat (optional), you can use any container
Extra decorations:
- Flat glass beads
- Bunny decor
- Small round wood
- Felt carrots
Extra items for playing:
- Bowls
- Scoops or spoons
For the colored rice:
- Food coloring, green
- 1 cup of rice
- 1/2 cup vinegar
- Container with lid or ziplock bag
- Paper towel
Instructions:
- Cut out the rabbits and carrots using your Cricut or you can draw and cut them with scissors.
- Using the yellow foam paper, cut a flower shape and glue the small pom-pom in the middle.
For the colored rice:
- Fill the ziplock with a cup of rice.
- Pour the vinegar.
- Pour a few drops of the food coloring.
- Close the ziplock.
- Mix and spread the food coloring with the rice.
- Add more drops until you reach your desired hue.
- Pour the colored rice evenly on the paper towel and let dry.
How to set up:
- Pour the colored rice into the container.
- Arrange the decorations on top.
- Prepare the spoons and bowls on the side.
- Invite kids to play.
