Valentines Sensory Bins For Playful Learning

VALENTINE SENSORY PLAY

There are so many wonderful ways to fill a sensory bin and Valentine’s Day is no exception! I have put together a collection of Valentine sensory bins that each use a different type of sensory bin filler.

Some children prefer different textures over others so try a few and see what works. If your child is not all that interested in the first one you make, try again with different sensory bin fillers. Many are low cost and easy to store for another time.

Sensory play has a lot to do with the nervous system and your child will react to how it feels, good or bad! Watch and listen to his or her reactions. You may learn a lot about what your child enjoys. I know my child definitely favors certain textures over others. We have tried many and some have been much more fun than others for him.

Make it an experiment for the two of you to try together this winter! Sensory bins can be both calming and stimulating for a child as well as engaging and educational!

Colored Craft Sand

I used one small bag of red craft sand and then little items from around the house. Grated cheese container, funnel and plastic drink powder scoop were his favorite things!
