How to Make the Fluffiest Foam Sensory Bin for Easter

You’ll laugh at me when I tell you, but this sensory bin was a disaster. The final result was amazing, but the process was a headache. The Foam Sensory Bin for Easter that we ended up with, was actually plan C.

I originally wanted to use soap foam and Easter eggs. I thought that the soap foam would kind of look like bushes and I could hide the Easter eggs underneath for the kids to find.

So what happened to make this a disaster? I couldn’t make the darn soap foam. I don’t know if it’s because my water is too hard, or because I have changed the soap I’ve been using, but it just wasn’t working for me. On top of that, I couldn’t find my stash of plastic Easter eggs. The whole thing was a bust.

Fortunately, I came up with something that ended up looking cool, and that my kids loved playing with.

How to Make a Foam Sensory Bin for Easter

1. Spray the shaving foam into a plastic container.

2: Add a few drops of green food coloring and give it a mix.

If the shaving foam isn’t the right consistency for you, add some water to thin it out a bit. Start with a little bit and add more until you get the right consistency.

3: To make the shaving foam look marbled, add a few more drops of food coloring. However, don’t mix it until the color goes all the way through. Make long strokes and circled instead to give it that marbled effect.

4: Add your pom-poms (or plastic Easter eggs) and other manipulatives to the shaving foam.

5: Have fun playing.

While this sensory bin may have not been what I originally had in mind, my kids still had a blast playing with it. My daughter particularly liked burying her hands in the mixture and squelching it between her fingers.

I recommend you do this sensory bin outside, it can get messy. Especially if you have little ones who like to bury themselves up to their elbows in foam.
