Sensory Play Ideas

AWESOME SENSORY BIN IDEA (and photos!) from @mommassori123 🙌🏻
Goodnight Goodnight 🌙 💤 Construction Site 🏗 Bulldozer’s Shapes 🔷🔺〰️

✨ Here is a simple digger sensory bin we love to use. I incorporating using one of our other favorite book📚series: Goodnight Goodnight 🌙 💤 Construction Site 🏗 Bulldozer’s Shapes 🔺🟩 🔵🔶〰, & added a shapes component in order to keep participating in #sensoryplayandbooks 🙌🏻

MATERIALS ➡️ @natgeo kinetic sand, any small “digger” and construction figures you have, & any kind of tangible shapes you have
✨you can put stale cereal🥣 in a blender for a taste safe kinetic sand alternative

PREP ➡️ Literally just throw all your items in a bin 😂🙌🏻

STEPS ➡️ Just let your kiddo explore with their hands and free play with the objects 😊 You can also ask them throughout play to “find the (diamond 🔷square 🟥 etc.)”or ask them to “make a squiggle/triangle/circle with your finger in the sand” to practice shape recognition 😊

DISCLAIMER 🗣 definitely put a drop cloth down for this one. Particularly if you have carpet like we do, you don’t want to be on your hands and knees picking kinetic sand out of the fibers 🙄 ALSO - the remainder of the materials are choking hazards, so be vigilant with under 3’s!
