Easy Butterfly Sensory Bin
Sensory bins are essential for your kids' development that is why I created this Easy Butterfly Sensory Bin for a fun learning experience for the kids!
Equipment
- Tribello Clear Plastic Storage Bins with Lids Stackable Storage Bins (15 Quart)
- Caydo 200 Pieces Blue Pom Poms, 1 inch Craft Pompom Balls for Art and Craft Projects Creative Decorations
- Styrofoam Foam Balls
Ingredients
- Sensory Bin
- Foam Beads
- Pom Poms
- Artificial Flowers
- Butterfly Cut Outs
Instructions
- Start by spreading a thin layer of foam beads on the bottom of your large plastic container. Cover the bottom, but don't add too many. You'll want to leave room for the rest of your sensory items.
- Now add pom poms. We used the same color as the foam beads, as you can see because we wanted to focus on texture. You could add a variety of colors here to create more sensory stimulation.
- Then add in a few artificial flowers. These could be silk flowers or paper-based, and could also be different colors if you wanted. You could even scent them lightly by adding a drop or two of essential oils.
- Finally, place your butterflies around the bin. We had a lot of different sizes and kinds of butterflies to compare and contrast.
- It’s playtime! Have the child explore the supplies and textures included in this bin.
