Awesomely Easy Water Sensory Bins

  The wonderful thing about water play in the warm weather - it's perfectly fine if the kids end up IN the bin. (In fact, we encourage it!) Set out some spoons, cups and pails (funnels are always a favorite, too!) and let the fun happen. 
​

  You don't even need to have a fancy water table for this. A kiddie pool or a Rubbermaid-type container is perfect! 

​  These sensory bins all include water as a base and are all super-easy to put together. Even at the ripe old age of 7 Kay would have fun with these simple ideas!

 Addingflowers to water play is a lovely idea! {The Pleasantest Thing}

 Pool noodles are perfect for water play (they also make fun boats!) {Frogs and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails} 
​
 Gem stones make for a fun "treasure hunt"! 

 Ice is nice - Oh, no! The toys in this bin are frozen in the ice. Guess the kiddos will have to figure out how to melt it before they can play (a clever way to throw in some STEM while you're at it!) {Tiny Adventure}

 Washing station! Get some trucks, dinos, dolls... and get to cleaning them! When adults do it, it's a chore; when kids do it, it's play. Go figure! {Hands On: as we grow}

 Small rocks are perfect for scooping, pouring and, yes, splashing with! {Play Based Learning}

​ Visit theocean without leaving the house (pretend sharks optional...) {Pre-K Pages}

 Bingo markers make great, colorful polka dots for this sensory "soup" {Fun at Home With Kids} 

 Cups and spoons - don't mess with the classics!​
