I’m excited to use this with my 3 year old and start helping him with his letter recognition. Plus the mailbox idea is so cute!
I love how simple it is and gives me a way to easily teach my kiddos about the environment!
When the weather isn’t cooperating, we still need something to keep their little minds busy, so let's make a winter sensory bin!
We’re using a combination of materials from this year and last year’s winter crates as well as some additional materials from Discount School Supply.
Once you have collected all the materials, you can organize them in a bin like we have here or you can just use common things from your kitchen such as a large cookie tray, Tupperware containers, or cereal bowls! Lay all the materials out on the table and invite your children to come and explore: it will keep them busy for hours!
Materials:
From 2022 Winter Crates: Water Beads, Snow, Arctic Animals & Mini Trees
From 2021 Winter Crates: Ince Cubes, Penguins & Snowflakes
Ice Blocks: Discount School Supply
Sensory Tray: Inspire My Play
Additional Materials You Could Use:
Pipe Cleaners
Real Ice Cubes
Real Snow
Measuring Cups / Spoons
Small Contains for Pouring
Mini sticks
Acorns
Psst ... We know your plate is overflowing, so if you'd rather grab a done-for-you, ready-to-play sensory bin, check out our collection of Busy Bins! They even come with their own storage for easy grab-and-play. We've got your back! 😉
