This is the first time we've ever done Sensory Bins. I plan to make a new one (or 2) every month. They will most likely go along with the season. I imagine that as I continue to make more I will learn to get more and more creative with what to put in them. These are a big hit with the kids so far, and I am happy to show you them! Originally I was going to just make one a month, for Kyla (I thought Kendrick might be too young). However, I realized that plan was incomplete, as soon as Kendrick noticed what she had going on! So, I decided to make 2 a month, and the kids will take turns playing with them. This month they have the same basic items, just in different colors.
Here is the first one I made:

| Sensory Bin #1 |
And here is the 2nd:

| Sensory Bin #2 |
What's inside the bins:
- Scrunchy Confetti paper (I have no idea what the actual name for it is)
- Styrophome Squashes
- Fall colored slinkies
- Colorful leaf foam stickers
- Nylon leafs (I picked these off of stems from fake flowers)
- Brown paper bag
- Orange plastic pumpkins
- 2 Polka dot print cloth ribbons
Everything inside these bins, excluding the ribbons, were found at my local Dollar Tree store. The little bins were purchased at Wal-Mart. And, I believe my sister bought the ribbons for me a couple years ago in the little dollar section in Target.
I'm looking forward to making more of these, and will be posting every month when I do! I got the idea for these on one of my favorite homeschooling blogs,
Counting Coconuts! If you have any questions, or ideas, please feel free to comment!
