Valentine's Treasure Dig
This sensory bin is what you need to get kids engaged this Valentine's Day. Perfect for their fine motor practice, too!
Equipment
- Heart Bead Necklaces
- Heart Foam Stickers
- Jumbo Tweezers
Ingredients
- Rice
- Jumbo tweezers
- Small Valentine’s themed items. We used foam heart stickers Valentine’s erasers, gold coins, a paper straw, a heart necklace, pipe cleaners, and more. Anything you have on hand and that you’re comfortable with giving to a toddler under supervision works great!
- Shoebox-sized storage bin. {I like to keep the sensory bin smaller for young toddlers and these shoe boxes are perfect for us.}
- Shower liner optional.
Instructions
- Put some of the rice in the storage bin.
- Scatter some of the Valentine-themed items in the bin and cover them with the rest of the rice.
- Place some of the items on top of the rice and lightly cover the rest. This caused a ton of interest to come over and start playing!
- Offer your kids the jumbo tweezers and let the treasure dig begin!
