Winter Sensory Bin

So I am having a lot of fun making these sensory bins and my boys LOVE them, which is even better. Prior to blogging about our preschool learning adventure, I didn't know what a sensory bin was and my learning curve has been straight up! I am just having fun with it and allowing my boys to explore the items in it.

The next two weeks we are going to be learning about winter and snow. I have a ton of ideas floating in my head and bookmarked already. It should be a ton of fun.

Here is our winter sensory bin that we will explore first thing on Monday.

In it the boys will find:
cotton balls
stryofoam balls(Dollar Tree)
snowman and polar bear erasers(Dollar Tree)
blue and white beads
blue and white pom poms
blue and white pipe cleaners
a few silver snowflake stickers
winter sight words

I can't wait to watch them sort, make patterns, and have fun with this bin!

    Another great winter sensory bin to inspire me to get one made for my little boy this week! I pinned it and would love for you to come share it at my new linky party.

    I know what you mean about making sensory tubs. Sometimes I think I have too much fun making them, then I see how my boys get engaged. I'm also adding in winter activities this month, and I just made our winter sensory tub for this weekend.

    Awesome sensory bin Trina! I have actually NEVER done one of these! What kinds of things do your little guys do with the bins? I am curious about them! Thanks for linking up!
