Construction site sensory bin

Tuesday, February 16, 2010




The boys had a blast playing in their Cheerio sensory bin today. I got to use up some stale cereal, got 2 hours of me time, and the boys got some hands on learning. I poured their construction set in there, and let them pretend to work the ground. I will be using this more this week, so stay tuned.

**Update: My kids still really love this bin- stale yes but still a fav!

Ways to enhance your Cheerio sensory bin:
add bottle tops for a circle lesson
bury dino bones and have them find them!

HAVE FUN~~

What a great sensory tub! We buy our cereal at a discount supermarket... sometimes its stale before we finish it up! I will have to create something like this next time it happens.

Pink and Green Mama has a bunch of boxes like this. I think we are going to make an "underwater/mermaid" box. :)

Very neat idea. My little boy would be so thrilled with this :)

I have just started a Sensory Tub Ideas List, it would be great if you link this idea up to it - http://ourworldwideclassroom.blogspot.com/2010/02/sensory-tubs-ideas-list.html

That's a great idea - my son needs to do more sensory stuff so I might try this. I'm told the more sensory stuff only helps to improve his "talking" (he is almost 2 and doesn't have many words yet).
