How to set up a summer sensory bin
When you're planning your sensory bins for summer, here are a few great bases to keep in mind.
- Water - when the weather is warm, simple water play can be just as much fun as a more complicated sensory bin.
- Ice - If you're using water as a base then throw in some ice to add a whole new sensory experience!
- Sand - Sand is an obvious choice as a base for summer sensory bins. If you're not lucky enough to have access to sand you can always but some and there's even 'kid safe' sand like this one available too.
If you want to store your sensory bins to use them over and over again, a lot of them will keep really well in a well sealed container like this one. You can even store them under the bed and pull them out as needed.
