Fun Snowman Sensory Bin

This snowman sensory bin is a low-prep way to introduce winter themes through play. It works well as an independent station or guided activity.

Ingredients

  • Dry white beans or rice
  • Clear plastic containers
  • White pom poms
  • Pipe cleaners
  • Washable marker
  • Small scoop or spoon
  • Shallow bin or tray

Instructions

  • Fill the bin with the base material, spreading it evenly so there is plenty of room for scooping and pouring.
  • Place the containers, pom poms, and snowman parts around the bin to encourage sorting and pretend play.
