Sunshine Sensory Bin: A Fun & Engaging Activity for All Explorers! Looking for a super easy, engaging, and sensory-rich activity? This taste-safe sunshine sensory bin is a guaranteed hit for both first walkers and big explorers alike! Simply whip up some couscous, pick your favourite colours (we went for a beautiful sunset theme using gel food colours we had on hand), and pop it all together in a sensory tub for endless exploring fun!
Sensory Play & Fine Motor Development
Before little hands learn to hold a pencil, they need to scoop, squish, dump, and pour! These simple actions help develop their fine motor skills, which are essential for everyday tasks like feeding themselves, zipping their coat, buttoning a shirt, and eventually holding a pencil properly.
Why Couscous?
Couscous is a fantastic sensory base! Its unique shape and texture make it a delight for little fingers to explore—it looks, sounds, and feels completely different from traditional rice bins, making it an exciting alternative.
Learning Through Play
Beyond fine motor skills and language development, this sensory bin also offers opportunities to build essential math skills, such as:
Color identification
Sorting
Patterning
Counting
The Perfect Play Companion: SOHLS
Sensory play often means little ones are on the move—standing, stepping, and exploring! SOHLS shoes are the perfect companion for these adventures. With lightweight construction and non-slip soles, they provide the right balance of comfort and support, whether your little explorer is playing indoors or outside. Plus, their flexible design allows for natural foot movement, helping support proper development while keeping those tiny toes protected.
So go ahead—mix, explore, and create endless fun with this sunshine sensory bin, knowing that your little one's feet are just as well taken care of as their developing minds!
