A Spooky Sensory Experience: Week of Sensory Bins, Day 5!

Oats and Gems, and Trucks, oh my!! A Week of Sensory Bins, Day 1!

One of Cocoa Puff's favorite activities are our "sensory" bins. I also call them activity bins. I've made them for multiple occasions and holidays. Originally, I had made a bunch of them for Froot Loop, but his tactile sensory issues made it so that he would barely even touch most of the sensory bins, much less actually enjoy playing with it. Soooooo, I put some of them away and brought them out for Cocoa Puff when he was about 18 months old. He still plays with them at 3 years old, so I've made a few more. Here is one of his recent favorites: a rainbow-dyed oatmeal sensory bin with glass gems, marbles, and plastic coins.
