Plain Vanilla Mom

4th of July Sensory Bin | A Sensory Bin for All Seasons

in holidays, play, sensory play, summer on 29/06/16


I have been wanting to do this forever. Put together a cute, classy, & simple sensory bin. I’ve walked by these little wooden storage boxes at Michaels a bazillion times but never bought one…until finally I did.

I haven’t brought you any kind of sensory bin series in a long time. Probably not since the boys were little and we did our “My First Sensory Bin Series”.  Those were great & we loved them but the boys aren’t babies any more and it’s time for something a little more sophisticated. I love our new sensory bin! The kids love our new sensory bin! We are actually calling it a Sensory Bin for All Seasons and I plan to update the theme monthly. The kids are psyched!

I love that they can use this at the kitchen table.

I love that when it’s time to put it away I can put the lid on it and store it (and if it’s out on a shelf it looks pretty).

I love that we could actually pack it and take it with us on vacation if we want to.

I love that they can use it for a little quiet play in their rooms.
