EASTER / SPRING SENSORY BIN


Spring is here and Easter is around the corner - time for a new sensory box!

Items in our sensory box:
Tongs
Measuring Spoons
Styrofoam peanuts
Plastic frogs
Plastic crosses
Flowers
Variety of erasers (eggs, chicks, flowers, bunnies)
Misc. containers and bowls
Mini Egg Carton
Mini Baskets

(alot of these items were from last year that I stored away for this year)




 Place the steamed flowers in the basketa



Transfer items in egg carton
Transferring small items into a container and then placing the lid on it. Transferring items with the measuring spoon from various containers with and without lids. Great for dexterity and hand and eye coordination.

My daughter loves sensory bins!

Linking up this week at 1 + 1 + 1 = 1 and Living Montessori Now
