Sensory Bin Fillers This post may contain affiliate links |
There is no question that ever since my daughter turned one, I have been so excited and curious about toddler activities and getting started with sensory bins. Even as a first grade teacher, I must admit that I didn’t know much about sensory bins or sensory play and I was embarrassed to admit it. But, as my daughter has become more interested in organized activities, I have really enjoyed discovering all the experiences that sensory bins have to offer little learners.

My favorites included:

- soapy water
- waters with bubbles in it
- cheerios
- oats
- cloud dough (oil and flour and food coloring if desired)
I should mention that the sensory bin fillers that are included in this list are not limited to babies under 16 months. My two year old STILL loves a bin of soapy or colored water to explore with!
