The book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is a classic that's well-loved by many toddlers and preschoolers, but even more so by hyperlexic kids. It's seriously one of their top book picks.
Whether your child can't get enough of the book and you're looking for ways to extend the book, you're going to love these super fun Chicka Chicka Boom Boom sensory bin activities. They're a perfect way to bring the book to life!
Personally, I love the sensory bin suggestions below that feature a coconut tree for the letters to climb up. It makes the activity that much more engaging!
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Sensory Bin Activities the Kids Will Love!
Grab some letters, whether they're foam, beads, magnetic, or whatever else you've got on hand and put together a fun and engaging book-inspired activity. And if you're a parent of a hyperlexic child, then I know you've got an abundance of letters laying around your house (it's kind of a given at this point!)!
You'll also want to to include a copy of the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom alongside these sensory bins so your child can play along as they read it. Doing so is also an easy way to work on comprehension! Kind of like we did with this Chicka Chicka 123 Invisible Numbers activity.
