Making a Winter Sensory Bin
This winter sensory bin is perfect for preschoolers just beginning to work on their fine motor skills and sensory development! Exploring textures with white kinetic sand, peg people, and castle-building blocks provides a sensory-rich experience, adding excitement to playtime.
When kids grab, stack, and arrange things like building blocks, peg people, or ice cubes in the bin, they work on hand-eye coordination. Discussing colors, shapes, and elements in the bin during play contributes to language development in children.
