Awesome Sensory Bin Ideas for Kids


Looking for sensory bin activities and ideas for kids? Then look no further than this huge collection of fun sensory bin ideas for toddlers and preschoolers.

When I first started this blog, I primarily shared kids' activities.

Sensory bin activities in particular, actually.

We first started doing sensory bins when my oldest was about one and a half years old. I started with water beads of all things - crazy, right?? And nearly every single sensory bin that I made for him ended up here on the blog. If they didn't, I likely have photos of them somewhere...

So yep, it's a growing collection of sensory bin ideas since 2013. That means, you will find sensory bins geared towards a wide variety of ages and interests here.

There's everything from super simple dump-and-play sensory bins (as I like to call them) to seasonal sensory bins for every kind of holiday.

There are also sensory bins tailored to my sons' passions and interests (like traffic lights and math). And, of course, there's a little bit of everything in between.

Hundreds of sensory bin ideas for kids of all ages - babies, toddlers, preschool, kindergarten, and even older kids!
