15 Spring Sensory Bins
Spring Sensory Bins are a fun and engaging way for children to explore the season of spring through their senses.
Sensory bins are containers filled with a variety of materials that encourage children to touch, feel, smell, and see different objects related to the theme of the bin.
Spring sensory bins typically include items such as flowers, seeds, grass and insects, as well as sensory materials such as water, sand or rice.
These sensory experiences not only provide children with opportunities to learn about the sights, sounds, and textures of spring, but also encourage the development of fine motor skills, problem-solving and creativity.
Spring sensory bins can be easily adapted for different age groups and skill levels, making them a versatile and valuable tool for parents, teachers and caregivers to use in a variety of educational settings.
