Pot of Gold Sensory Bin

Keep the magic of St. Patrick’s Day alive by setting up this easy pot of gold sensory bin for your little ones.

Our counting bears and their rainbow cups came in handy in this set up. I just added a cauldron cut out and some chocolate coins to create this St. Patrick’s Day sensory bin.

My boys sorted the colored bears to their matching cups and scooped the rice in and out of the cups.

Today is also the day when Niko finally realized that the gold coins he’s been playing with are real chocolates.

Our activity ended up with another messy floor and me making sure that there’s no missing counting bears. 😂

Let’s set up a pot of gold sensory bin:

Instructions:
