This sensory bin was inspired by the letter I.
Materials
My husband suggested using icing sugar as part of this bin, but I wanted something simpler. And less messy. So we went with a super easy letter I bin that featured a lot of "ice" things.
- Ice
- Ice cream foam play set
- Ice cube tray
- Igloo from Safari Arctic TOOB
- Ice cream scoop
- Large foam letter I
- Small foam letter I
 |
| Ice, ice, baby... |
We set this bin up a few weeks ago for the boys to explore after K's nap. J reached for the foam letters first, while K picked up the ice cream scoop first.
 |
| Checking out the bin |
Of course, the ice had to be tasted by both boys.
 |
| J licking the ice. |
 |
| Now K gives it a taste. |
J also spent some time sorting the ice cubes into the ice cube tray.
 |
| Practicing some one-to-one correspondence. |
 |
| A close up of the ice being sorted. |
J also used the ice and some scoops from the
ice cream foam set to "trace" the large foam I.
And then, as usual, K climbed into the bin.
 |
| K has climbed on in. |
 |
| Another successful bin. |
