Jello Numbers Sensory Box


One way to get kids to start thinking about numbers is to add them to fun and edible sensory play, by mixing them into fun jello colors.  You can mix them all into one big bowl or add them into individual blocks and have kids investigate what numbers they uncover.

Sensory Sorting Box


One way to mix up the sensory bin experience is to provide an action to go with the experience such as sorting the contents of the bin.  Kids can sort by color, object type, size, texture, or think of their own ways to sort.

Ocean Excavation Project


Two steps behind six little hands has a fun outdoor activity for the summer -- an ocean excavation project. Using a large plastic bin hide ocean objects in blue tinted water and freeze. Then give your kids different tools to carve them out such as a spray bottle, meat mallet, basting brush. It should entertain them for a good while and keep them cool.

Good for ages 4 and up.

Easter Sensory Box



Gets ready for Easter with an sensory box egg hunt. Uses shredded green color paper or the plastic grass and hide plastic eggs within the bath tub so the kids can literally immerse themselves. You can also add fluffy chicks and feathers and plastic lambs.  Hide items within the eggs for kids to discover even more.
