Here's what I used for the beach sensory bin:
- box (repurposed from previous sensory box
- sand ($2 at the craft store)
- seashells from my childhood collection
- blue pom poms ($1 at the dollar store)
- flamingo koosh toys ($1 from dollar store)
- magnifying glass
- plastic spoons
For the princess box, I decided to try my hand at dying the rice purple! I put 1 bag of rice from the dollar store into a large ziploc bag. Then added 1 tablespoon white vinegar and 20 drops red food dye and 20 drops blue food dye. Zip and shake until the rice is coated evenly. I laid it on a sheet pan to dry. It's a little stinky so I put it outside and it dried in about 2-3 hours.
Here's what I used for the princess sensory bin:
- box (repurposed)
- pink and purple poof balls ($1 from the dollar store -- I got a mixed bag and used the blue for the seashore box too!)
- little people princesses
- plastic spoons
- pop beads (2 packs, $1 each at dollar store)
- princess mirror and comb set ($1, dollar store)
- plastic bracelets ($1, dollar store)
G loved the changes!
