MONTESSORI - DRIED BEANS SENSORY / POURING BOX

My kids love sensory time bins, we use our rice one quite a bit but I decided to try something new!

dry lentils and black eyed beans
Then I put out different bowels, cups, funnel, ice cube tray, spoons, etc. for they to pour, fill and jsut scrunch their hands in!


All 3 kids LOVED this!

    I made one of these too & every kid who comes over to play loves it! We hide little animals in it to dig & find. So fun. :)

    I love this idea! I am so going to try it with Lily. We use a mixed container of beans to sort by size, color and arrange lines of them. Or for glue projects :) Happy Thursday! Stopping in from Tammy's and following you!

    Love this idea. Lots of sensory fun. I just noticed your 4th little blessing was born Dec 14 last year - the same day our 3rd little blessing was born!

    God is good.
