15 More Must-See Sensory Bins

Tuesday Tots is a weekly link-up sharing posts for kids 5 and under co-hosted by In Lieu of Preschool (me), Rainy Day Mum, Growing a Jeweled Rose, and Learn with Play at Home. Be sure to follow our Tuesday Tots Pinterest board!

Can one ever have too many sensory bins??? After having seen the level of hands-on interaction, imaginative play, and fine motor skills practice my kids get out of ours, I’d say the answer is no! Sensory bins are great for play and learning! They are usually easy and cheap to put together, and are better in so many ways than most store bought toys! Turn off the television and encourage your child to check out a sensory bin today! You may remember I featured 7 must-see sensory bins a few weeks ago. This week I’m back with MORE must-see sensory bins!!

I hope these creative ideas inspire you as much as they have inspired me!! I think I could look at photos of sensory bins all day. They all just look so inviting and they make even me want to reach my hands in and PLAY!
