The puzzle letter hunt is an example to the activity you shared Darlene! Your idea on digging for letters and matching it to the first letter of their name is a great opportunity to support fine/gross motor and letter recognition.

Give me a toddler and a rice bin ANY DAY because those two are like peas and carrots. You wouldn't know it from the outside that dry rice and toddlers are MFEO (made for each other) but they totally are. Toddlers love a good rice bin moment and this puzzle hunt sensory bin is amazing for all the right reasons.

Rice bins are THE BEST with toddlers and one of my favorites. I've dyed rice rainbow, we've added our trash to it (clean, recycled trash), we've even put it into a kiddie pool for one massive rice bin. The takeaway message: rice bins are awesome.

Making a puzzle hunt sensory bin is super easy.

But how can you take these sensory bins up a notch?

How can you make something so fantastic even more fantastic?

By adding in your toddlers favorite puzzle that's how. I used alphabet letters, but this shape version from Fun with Mama is awesome too!

Here's what I did (and some tips for keeping this sensory bin tidy-ish)

I know that seeing my 2.5 year old playing with rice on a floor gives a lot of parents the creepies. I get that. But I also know that there was WAY LESS mess in cleaning this up than from the kids at dinner later that night...

So what I'm saying is: give sensory bins a chance just like you give dinner a chance every night (wink).

But what about THE MESS.

There really wasn't one. I need a dust pan to sweep the droppings up.

WHY?

Because I've taught my daughter how to use sensory bins and how to NOT use them. She knows the "rules". Rome and sensory bin etiquette were not built in a day. And just like dinner time, I knew that by practicing with her and providing boundaries, she would learn not to throw rice while playing. Now if I could only get her to understand how to eat dinner as clean as she plays with rice...

My quick, quick set up.

(This list contains affiliate links. Read more in my disclosure policy.)

I took the rice and dumped it into a storage container that's just a little bigger than a shoe box. I've had this rice for about 2 years now and it's doing great all sealed up in a Ziplock bag.

How I made this is 3-in-1 activity

Looks like a simple activity, right? Except, that I turned this into a 3-part activity.

First, my 2.5 year old helped me hide her puzzle piece - she took almost 5 minutes to do this, carefully burying each letter and deep in imaginary play as she worked.

Second, the actual activity: find the puzzle pieces and get them back into the puzzle.

Third, free play at the end.

Opening this up to free play is where it's at!

Once she had finished - her little imagination took over. She built "sand castles" with the letters, found and reburied them, apparently letter W and letter P couldn't find their babies... It was a whole big production that last 20 minutes .

TWENTY MINUTES with a bag of rice and a puzzle.

This puzzle hunt sensory bin isn't the fancies activity but it's a solid classic that your toddler can play over and over. It's these easy little activities that make toddler life so special and so fun - and helps us parents make it to nap time.

When will you set up this puzzle hunt sensory bin?

Forest Theme Sensory Bin for Preschool - Pre-K Pages

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Do you have early learners that love learning using their sensory skills and fine motor activities ? This Forest Theme Sensory Bin is the perfect sensory experience to encourage hands-on learning and fun.

By adding forest animals and creating a fun forest habitat, you'll be providing them with the potential for hours of creativity, curiosity, and imaginative fun.

Forest Theme Sensory Bin

The great part about this simple sensory activity is that there are so many great textures for the children to feel. They'll love the softness of the sand, the roundness of the rocks, and the jagged edges that are found on all the added pinecones as well.

Anytime you have the chance to encourage sensory play in your classroom or at home, do so because it's such a great activity for kids. Sensory development also goes hand-in-hand with fine motor skills as well, which is crucial for young learners to experience on a daily basis.

Once your children dive in and see how much fun this sensory bin is, they're going to already be thinking of new and fun items that they can add to it as well. Let them be creative and help to make this sensory activity full of even more fun items!

Forest Sensory Bin

One other reason that sensory bins are so popular is because there are so many items that can easily be added. Look around on your shelves or in your toy box or just step outside to see what nature has in store as well. Free is always good when it comes to adding to your child's sensory experience!

Here are a few of the items that I used in this Forest Theme Sensory Bin but you can easily add in whatever you have at home or whatever you think would work better. There are so many choices for sensory bin tools so have fun with your choices.

Using Sand in the Sensory Bin

I choose sand for this sensory bin just because of the theme and texture. The children always like when sand is used because it feels really nice on their hands. Keep in mind that you can easily choose other sensory bin filler choices as well which is just another simple way to change up the look and feel of all sensory bin activities that you make in the future.

Even though sand can be a bit messy, it's important to show the children all the different textures. Messy play is also super fun from time to time as well and sand can easily be swept or vacuumed up when done.

Forest Sensory Bin Tools

Add in whatever tools you want! More than likely, their hands are going to be the biggest tools in this fun sensory bin but it's always good to have options as well. Handy Scoopers are great for gripping and pouring and helping them work on their hand-eye coordination.

The great part about tools is that you can change out and add in new ones as often as you'd like. Even simple spoons from the kitchen or tongs can be great sensory bin tools!

I am currently developing a new Toddler Homeschool Curriculum called Play2Learn Toddler Homeschool Program. Be sure to sign up for my newsletters so that you get first dibs when it is released! It is includes tons of fresh and new ideas!

How to Set Up Snowball Rescue Sensory Bin

Grab your sensory bin and place inside of it different sized marshmellos, cotton balls or white paper scrunched up into balls. I wouldn't add all of these items but they are just one. But the best thing about this sensory bin there are tons of items you can use so use what you have at home! Also use the item that best suits the age of your toddler.

Next, grab your painters' tape and tape across the sensory bin to create a web for your toddler or preschooler to maneuver their tongs or spoon through. Set up a separate basket or bin where your little one can transfer the snowballs into. You can place this beside your toddler or at a distance to turn it into a gross motor activity. They will have to hold the snowballs in the tongs or balance it in the spoon across the room to transfer it into a separate container.

Hand your little one a pair of tongs or a spoon and have them try and grab or scoop the "snowballs" out of the sensory bin and transfer them to the next container! Super simple and fun!

Snowball Rescue Sensory Bin was a Total Hit

Once again this idea was a total hit and my toddlers loved it. It was also a fantastic fine motor skill activity.

Sensory Sniffing Jars - Mostly Under Control

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Smelling jars are a great way to allow your child to explore their sense of smell. We love sensory activities in our house, but often times we forget about the sense of smell. These smelling jars are so easy to put together and can be played with anywhere.

If you are a regular reader around here, you know that I love sensory activities. I will spare you with the details as to why because I'm pretty sure I've shared that 100 times.

I took a little break with sensory activities because I felt like it was all I was doing. It took over all of my educational posts. I was a woman obsessed! It's just so fun to watch the looks on kid's faces as they cram their hands into some gooey substance or the way their nose turns up with they smell something super gross!

Oh, sorry...I said I would spare you my reasons.

I haven't really done a sensory activity with the sense of smell. I've done plenty with touch.

The Dollar Tree has these little snack containers in their food storage section. I have absolutely no idea what you would store in them because they are so tiny. But naturally, I snagged them up thinking I would use them at some point in my life. I mean, it was 10 containers for $1!

I remember doing a sensory activity when I taught with little jars and holes in the cap. We put different extracts onto cotton balls and plopped them into the jar. The kids loved them! We diffuse oils around here from time to time (read: when I remember to fill it) so I decided to recreate this project, but with oils. BOOM.

I took the little containers and a razor and sliced a small square hole out of the top. I put cotton balls inside each container (2 cotton balls per container) and dropped some oils onto the cotton balls. Some cotton balls got 2 drops, some got 10 drops.

Of course since it was actually supposed to be an infant project, Dylan stepped in to "help" and then couldn't get enough of them. He would sniff one and then try to tell me what it was.

Reagan tried to eat them. Because she's 1. She honestly had a lot more fun stacking them then actually smelling (read: eating) them.

We used lime, orange, lavender, blends, cinnamon bark (yuck)....we had a lot of fun putting it together.

With autumn just around the corner we're busy making tons of fun fall activities for you and the kids! First up is this pumpkin pie playdough recipe. Not only will the kids love helping you make this playdough, but your house will smell like pumpkin spice after too! Scented playdough is a great way to add an additional sensory experience to a playdough activity. By adding some pumpkin spice to this playdough recipe - your kids can pretend they are making and serving their very own pumpkin pie!

RELATED: Homemade playdough recipe
Watch the full tutorial video here before you get started!
You can easily make this pumpkin pie playdough with ingredients you already have in your kitchen! The best part about making homemade playdough is that it is so soft and easy to play with. We find it often outlasts the store bought stuff too. And it will keep for quite some time by just keeping it stored in an air locked container or bag.

- Have your child roll out the pumpkin playdough
Here are some activity ideas to do with your pumpkin playdough:
- Fill a pie pan with the playdough and create the crust

- Use a toy pie cutter and cut the pie into pieces

- Plate your pumpkin pie to serve to your guests

- Add some "whip cream" on top with a cotton ball

Pumpkin Pie Playdough Recipe

Directions to Make Pumpkin Pie Spice Playdough Recipe

Note: Adults should cook the playdough. Kids can help you mix the ingredients before cooking!

This playdough is taste safe as all the ingredients used are edible, however we do not recommend ingesting any of it. Please only allow children to play with it that are old enough to not put things in their mouth.

In a large pot, add in vegetable oil, food color, and water (add food coloring to water first so it's easier to mix in), stir.

In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients and mix well. Or individually add your spices and then your salt and flour as show in the video. Add dry ingredients to your pan for cooking.

Cook over medium heat until the dough starts to form and becomes dry.

Now let cool and then knead. If the dough feels sticky, add a bit more flour. If you would like more scent, you can add more pumpkin pie spice mix and knead in.

Now add your fun! Add some cotton balls on top for pretend play.

With Spring in the air, my kids have been itching to help out in the garden. We have planted seeds, pulled weeds and used a hose to water plants. This got messy at times as my kids would lose control of the hose, point it in the wrong direction or over water a plant. I decided individual watering cans would be answer and being the frugal sort of mama I am, I was inspired to make some using recycled soda bottles. We have recycled bottles in the past when we made Calming Bottles and a Crushed Cereal Rainbow Bottle. I just adore how these watering cans turned out. The kids really put effort into painting them and with a little help from me, we were able to create these colorful and useful Soda Bottle Watering Cans.

Clean out a one liter soda or water bottle and let dry. This would work with a smaller bottle as well. If you tried it with a 2 liter bottle it might be too heavy for kids to hold when filled with water.

I created a paint palette for my kids by squirting different colors of paint on a paper plate. I then provided them with the paint, bottle, a brush and a cup of water for cleaning their brush between colors.

Since they would be using these bottles to water plants in our garden, my kids decided to make bright and cheery Spring themed designs on their bottles.

As you can see, suns, skies, and grass were featured prominently. When the bottles were done being painted, I let them dry a few hours. The thicker your child has applied the paint, the longer drying will take.

The next part is an adults only step. When the bottle is dry, you will need to make some small holes in it so children can pour out the water. I had originally thought I could make the holes by using a nail and hammer, but the bottle was so slippery I could not get the nails to penetrate. When I mentioned this to my husband, he suggested that I warm up the tip of a nail on the stove and use it to melt holes into the bottle. To do this, I held the head of nail with some pliers and held it over low heat on a stove. Then I continued to hold the nail with the pliers and pressed the hot part into the bottle where I wanted my holes. This worked perfectly as the nail made a hole right away. I was even able to make a few holes before having to warm up the nail again. 9-10 holes will give you a great water flow.

Finally it was time to fill our bottles up with water and go outside and water the plants. Twist off the cap and fill up the bottle to just under the holes you made.

To use the bottle, just tip over where the holes are and pour. As the water in the bottle starts to go down, you can squeeze the bottle to get more out.

Try this fun project if you are looking for a way to recycle, get creative and make a frugal watering can.
