The next sensory bin in the alphabet sensory bin series is the letter F.
 |
| F fun! |
- Feather boa
- Fire truck
- Large foam F
- Smaller plastic F
- Fabric scraps (there was even some flannel scraps!)
- Flowers
- Felt scraps
- Foam scraps
- Fish stuffed animal
- Franklin storybook
- Flashlights x 3 (one can even be worn on the head)
The bin sat on the kitchen floor for all of 20 seconds before K was ready to check it out.
J picked up the large foam F up first, while K tried to grab the feather boa. J stole it from K's hands as soon as K started to pull it out of the bin.
Then they found the flashlights...
J then spent 15-20 minutes playing in the pantry with the door closed, singing away. I peaked in a few times to get some pictures, but this was the best I could get:

| Hi mom! |
J then took out the foam scraps. He named the colors, organized them into patterns, and eventually started using them to make...wait for it...letters. Shocking, I know! You thought I was going to say numbers, didn't you?
Then both boys took a turn browsing the Franklin story book.
This bin remained popular later that night when I moved it to the playroom in the basement. K took the flashlight and shined it on the ceiling, gave a few spins, and said, "Wow. Cool." He easily spent 10 minutes doing this. I really had no idea a flashlight would have been so exciting to both of the boys. It was easily their favorite item in the bin.
What would you put in your F themed sensory bin? Tell me in the comments.
