Introducing Sensory Bins

Engage your child’s imagination through his or her senses in one play experience with sensory bins. Sensory bins are filled with tactile contents that stimulate the senses and create a play scene for children to exercise their creativity while developing cognitive and social skills.

One of the most effective ways in which children learn is through arts and crafts. Whether it be forming figures out of clay, assembling shapes or blocks, or rummaging their hands through a craft bin of sparkling sequins, children are experiencing far more than a fun-filled day of crafting. They are participating in what is called sensory play.

Use this guide to aid in your child's Sensory Bin play, making sure they get the most out of the experience.

The Sensory Bin Parent Guide includes features and benefits, safety and assembly, as well as suggestions and activity prompts for getting started.
