Sensory bins are one of my sons favorite things to play with. There's something that he loves about digging in new textures while manipulating and discovering small objects. There are many benefits in using a sensory bin, some of which include small motor, senses and hand eye coordination development. Below I posted our "sea shells and sea creatures" sensory bin pictures, which took me only about 5 min to put together.
Materials:
1.) Rubber/plastic sea creatures (crabs, whales, turtles, etc)
2.) Toy shovel(s) and molds
3.) Shells from the beach
4.) Paint brushes
5.) A plastic bin
6.) Sand
Directions: place all items in the bin and start playing!
