    Earth Sensory Bin

    Check out this simple Earth sensory bin that is perfect for Earth Day!

    I prepared this super easy sensory bin for my boys in celebration of Earth Day this coming April 22. I used our home-made colored rice as fillers and added a bit of cardboard animals.

    I added our book, De gele ballon, and talk about the different scenes found all around the world.

    Let’s create an Earth sensory bin:

    Materials needed:

    • Round wooden tray
    • Cardboard animals
    • Wooden spoon
    • Wooden bowl

    For the colored rice:

    • Food coloring; blue and green
    • 1 cup of rice
    • 1/2 cup vinegar
    • Container with lid or ziplock bag
    • Paper towel

    Instructions:

    For the colored rice:

    • Fill the ziplock with a cup of rice.
    • Pour the vinegar.
    • Pour a few drops of the blue 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.
    • Do the same to the green rice.

    How to set up:

    • Arrange the blue and green rice into the tray to create the Earth.
    • Arrange the animals on top.
    • Prepare spoons and bowls on the side.
    • Invite kids to play.

    Hope you like this Earth Day activity!

I love creating things with my kids and adding a touch of magic to their playtime.
