Sensory Bin

Eloise is a huge sensory kid. I love coming up with activities or things to keep her busy so I can get stuff done .This was  a huge hit. I made two different sensory bins; a regular everyday one and then a special Easter version. She loved it so much that I had to make a second one. These are great for your child to learn different textures. You can use many different things in these bins. For fun you can bury different objects and ask your child to dig for them. or ask them to sort the objects in the bin. This keeps Eloise busy for hours just digging and the excitement on her face is priceless every time she finds something buried .
