 Inside: This collection of spring sensory bins invites toddlers and preschoolers to explore different colors and textures. Each bin is filled with hands-on exploration and will go nicely with your spring theme.
 
For those of us who have endured a rather colorless winter, we are so excited to explore color in the spring!
 
This is a great time of year to explore using our senses with all the different textures available.
 
If you are looking for some new spring sensory bin ideas, you will love this collection!

I always keep in mind what preschoolers love most about our sensory bins:

  • Scoop
  • Pour
  • Transfer

 
Each one of these activities includes them!
 
I’d love to know what your children’s favorite sensory bins are. What can I add to this collection?
