Do you want to try sensory bins but you are scared of the mess?

I can confidently say that learning and time your kids play with a sensory bin out weighs the mess it MAY cause but to make you feel more confident in having one of our sensory bins at your home below are some tips to help ease some anxiety you may be feeling before purchasing one.

Ground Level

Having your sensory bin on the ground rather than a table helps it from being accidentally poured out.

Start Small

Start with one bag of rice, scoop, and bowl. When you are ready add in some props and more rice.

Patience

A mess may happen remember to give them grace because you make mistakes too but you learn from them. Let your child learn as well.

Vacuum to the Rescue

Lay out a blanket to set a boundary and contain any mess spilt or vacuum it . Clean up takes less than 5 minutes!

Model. Model. Model.

Don't expect your child to know what to do or how to play right away. They must first learn from you.

Actions have Consequences

If your rules for the bin are not being followed simply put it away for another time for them to "try again when they are ready to follow the rules."

Sensory Bin Play Ideas

If you have never "used" a sensory bin before you may not know what to do with it. After a few play expierneces your child will be making up their own play and it almost always is never the same as the first last time they played with their sensory bin.
