New Sensory Bin Inspiration! Summer Themed Sensory "Beach"

Sensory play continues to be a family favorite, and with summer approaching, it was time to bring the season to the sensory bin! But why stick with a basic kinetic sand sensory bin? I upped the ante by including water beads (for some extra texture contrast).

Putting together this sensory activity is easy with a few simple items:

• Beach kinetic sand
• Blue kinetic sand
• Blue water beads
• Green water beads
• Beach toys
• Water animal/sea life toys
• Something to put it all in!

Water beads can be a choking hazard, so this may not be appropriate for younger toddlers (and make sure to monitor a child of any age, especially if they may put the beads in their mouth or nose). That said, this is a great preschool activity (and can be a good toddler activity for the right child, with supervision).
