what do you all do for sensory bins for really wee ones? Aside from snow
Daycare123, I don't usually have sensory bins. I really believe that everything children touch, smell, play with, eat, crafting, colouring, inside, outside - it's all sensory. I provide a large variety of toys and crafts and playing, including chalk, markers, paint, playdo, finger paint, soft toys, hard toys of all kinds. When we are outside they are collecting leaves, pinecones, smelling flowers, picking up worms. You can't name one thing children do that is NOT sensory.

So I don't want a big bin of rice or sand all over my house! I really don't think my daycare children are missing out at all. But this week we made an igloo out of sugar cubes, painted a 3D snowman picture, brought in a big bowl of snow after playing outside so we could make an inside snowman and observe what happened, and so much more.

Do whatever you want to do of course, that's just my two cents!
