Peter Pan Sensory Bin

Let your kids become their favorite book character on World Book Day!

World Book Day is celebrated on the first Thursday of March. It is a special day for kids because they can choose which book character they want to be on that day.

We were not able to celebrate World Book Day this year because we were admitted in the hospital, but here is the World Book Day activity and simple costume that I set up for Niko last year.

For World Book Day 2021, I set up a Peter Pan sensory bin to go with our Peter Pan book.

If you’ve been following me on Instagram, I posted a DIY Peter Pan costume for Nate when he was 3 months old using green onesie and some zigzag felt on the sleeves and bottom (tutorial to follow).

For this activity, I made a Peter Pan paper hat for Niko instead of felt.

Let’s set up a Peter Pan sensory bin:

Round tray
Colored papers; yellow, black and white
