    Spring Sensory Bin

    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.

    My name is Dove. I live in an enchanted forest at the end of a rainbow. I have a little window in my room where I can see unicorns playing in the grass field at day and magical fairies dancing under the silvery moon at night. I love creating things with my kids and adding a touch of magic to their playtime.
