If you are new to sensory play and need some tips on how to set up a simple sensory bin and the basic items you would need for it, go over and read my post on Sensory Play Setup and Play Ideas. You will get a good idea and tips on getting started and I hope it will in fact encourage you to get started with sensory play, if you are weary like I was before I gave it a go!
In this post here, I am going to show you how I set up our rice bin scooping station. This is a very basic setup which actually needs no real setup bu some very simple tools that can keep a toddler busy for hours! Well, mine is a huge fan and is happy to play with this set up any day!
We add the following to our rice bin to make it a scooping station:
- Mini beach set - shovel, form and strainer.
- A few different sized spoons.
- Ice cube tray.
- Funnel
- Empty containers.
There is not set rule or pattern to be followed here. There are empty bins and trays and there are spoons and shovels. The options of scooping and transferring rice from one container to another is endless and toddlers sure LOVE transferring! So there is no way this isn't going to be a hit with your mini :)
I am just going to leave you with some pictures of our play session as sometimes pictures definitely speak more than words.... so here you go! :)
