Sensory Bin – Valentine’s Day / Red

I just decided to bring back our sensory bin now that Nate is at the point where he doesn’t have to put everything in his mouth.

Here’s our first (okay, second, but the other one we only played with once) sensory bin for both kiddos:

Some of the things inside:

• 3 bags of Red Shred Dollar Tree
• 4 cup plastic measuring cup $1 at Ace Hardware
• Red plastic bowl came in a 3-pack at the Dollar Tree
• Plastic heart bracelets Dollar spot at Target
• Bigger Heart Erasers Dollar Tree
• Plastic Heart Containers (inside the bowl) Dollar Tree
• Small Heart/Valentines Erasers (Inside measuring cup) Party City
• Heart Cupcake Picks Party City
• Egg carton

My only rules are that it has to stay on the blanket and it has to be all cleaned up when they’re done. They play with it for at least 20 minutes a day :)
