Happy May everyone!

Lets bring on the May flowers and start this month off with a Gardening Sensory Bin.

Since kids need some type of play at parties, I thought a Gardening Sensory Bin would be great. It turns out… it was.

Although I haven’t posted about it yet, Mila’s birthday part was garden and plant themed. She loves plants so much, it was a perfect fit. All of Mila’s friends loved it and Mila kept playing with it for days after.

Just beware of beans flying everywhere.

For this bin, I used things that were around my house, but you can find everything at the dollar store:

• Dried Beans
• Fake Flowers or Produce
• Gardening Accessories
• Jars or Mini Pots
• Sensory Bin

All you need to do is a fill a sensory bin with whatever kind of dried beans or rice.

Then, place fake produce and flowers like they’re planted in the ground. I loved the felt produce from Targets Dollar Spot or we use fake flowers from the Dollar Tree.

Next, place some jars or pots in the bin along with some gardening accessories.

Now it’s time to play!

Your child will know exactly what to do with this bin. It’s a lot of fun to watch them play and discover. I’ll have this sensory bin ready for whenever. It’s easy and has endless amounts of fun.
