Pom-pom Sensory Bin

pom pom sensory bin - toddler at play (1)

This Pom-pom Sensory Bin is one of the easiest sensory bins you can set up!

All you need is just a few of the most simple materials (most of which you probably have at home) and you have a fun, creative play activity that will keep your child occupied, independent and happy. You can personalize this bin in any way you want! Try various pots and pans, scoops, spoons, ladles, anything you can think of that is safe for a child to play with will work. We even tried freezing the pom-poms by first soaking them in water and freezing overnight for a cooling summer sensory bin!

What is my child learning and improving?

  • Creativity (kids can choose what color of “soup” they want to make, what size of pom-poms to scoop, etc.)
  • Independence (this is an excellent way to keep a child busy and independent)
  • Fine motor skills (using the scoops, picking up the pom-poms)
  • Hand-eye coordination (scooping the pom-poms with the scoops, spoons, ladles)
  • Sensories (feeling the water, pom-poms, building communication and new brain connections)

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!
