Water, H2O, Water Everywhere!
So I was looking through my phone the other day at photos that I took over the last year and realized that I have set up a ton of water based sensory bins for my three kids. I mean a lot, I was shocked. I know that I love a good water sensory bin. They are so easy to set up and they are extremely engaging. Any parent knows that water + toddler = happiness. Water is the perfect sensory bin filler for not just toddlers and preschoolers but babies as well.
Perfect Way to Beat the Summer Heat Outdoors
Although by the end of each water sensory bin my kids are always soaked to the bone. This is why they are so great to do outside on a hot day in the summer!Take these sensory play ideas outdoors in order to further reduce your clean up and help cool down on a hot day!
Water Fun Indoors
All these water sensory bin activities can be done outdoors and even indoors. If you are doing these activities indoors, clean up can be just as easy. Add a towel under the sensory bin before they play to help keep the “mess” down and have extra towel ready to dry up any major spills.
