50 Sensory Bin Fillers

Sensory play can be an exploratory opportunity for your child to build nerve connections from their fingers to their brain, which will support more complex learning later in their childhood. Sensory play can broaden your child's language development, strengthen fine motor skills, and support cognitive growth. Sensory bins can also act as a calming strategy for an anxious or an emotional child. When creating sensory bins, start with a base material and then add a few small play items to encourage their imagination to explore. You can also add items that will encourage academic growth, such as a dice, tweezers, or letter cards, to create a game in their sensory bin. Adding essential oils can enhance their sensory experience as well. Below you will find 50 sensory bin fillers for your child to enjoy.
