Since I’m sharing my favorite sensory bins, you also need to know how to make colorful fillers. If you want a printable list of Sensory Fillers and Sensory Tools, check out THIS POST and if you want Sensory Table Ideas for each Holiday, check out THIS POST. Most of the supplies in the bins come from the Dollar Tree, Michaels, Walmart, or the Target spot. In each sensory bin, try to add some kind of tool (ex: scoops, tweezers, utensils), something to put the sensory filler into (ex: trays, bowls, plastic eggs, buckets), something to sort or count (ex: mini erasers, pom poms, jewels), and sometimes something to spark imaginary play (ex: animals, people, counters, ). There are just too many amazing sensory tables for one post so I will make a separate post with my favorite holiday sensory tables also! Sometimes it can be tricky to think up new, engaging sensory tables so I am here to help! I’m sharing all of my favorite sensory tables for various themes you may do in a preschool, pre-k, or kindergarten classroom. Learning occurs through play at the sensory table.
