Dinosaur Oobleck Sensory Bin

dinosaur oobleck sensory bin- toddler at play (2)

This Dinosaur Oobleck Sensory Bin is an easy and entertaining sensory play idea for kids.

Do your kids love toy dinosaurs? If they do, then they will love this ooey-gooey sensory play idea! It’s a great way to explore textures and spark their creativity and imagination. To make the Oobleck, you’ll need only a few basic kitchen staples, so don’t worry…this activity doesn’t take long to prep at all, including making the oobleck.

My kids loved covering the dinosaurs with oobleck, digging them out and covering them up again. They had a blast and I was happy they stayed so content and busy for such a long time 🙂

Simple sensory play idea for today using beet-dyed Simple sensory play idea for today using beet-dyed rice and a few fun sensory tools 💗  Now, yes, you’ve read that right. I dyed this rice using a little bit of beet water (from boiling beets) and about a tablespoon of distilled white vinegar. Add all into a big ziploc bag, shake and spread out on a sheet pan to dry completely, I like to do this overnight. This recipe is without any dyes, which I try to avoid. Even food dyes contain “lakes” and toxic stuff.  The beet water made a lovely deep pink color, perfect for Valentine’s Day! If you try this recipe out, let me know in the comments if you enjoyed it AND TAG me so I can take a peak!  SAVE for later and TAG your friends below to share!
