Simple Spring Garden Sensory Bin for Toddlers

How do you feel when Spring finally arrives? I don’t know about you, but the warmer weather always makes me itch to go outside and get my hands dirty. I used to encourage my kids to comes with me until they started pulling out all of the new beautiful flowers while saying “weed”. Needless to say, that stopped pretty quickly (I’ll try again when they’re older). This Spring Garden Sensory Bin is a fantastic way to enjoy all the new growth that comes from this time of year, without killing your actual plants.

How to Make a Spring Garden Sensory Bin

Place the green rainbow rice in one half of the tub and the dried black beans in the other half of the tub.

2. Add in the carrots.

“Plant” the carrots inside the half of the tub that has the black beans. This will be the veggie patch side of your garden.

Place some fake flowers in the green rainbow rice side of your tub. This will be the flower garden side of your sensory bin.

Gather your cups, spoons and bowls and enjoy playing.
