The $2 solution to entertaining your toddler!

Looking for a simple yet exciting sensory activity? A spaghetti sensory bin is the perfect hands-on experience for little ones to squish, scoop, and explore! Whether you’re setting it up indoors or taking the fun outside, this activity is a hit for both first walkers and bigger adventurers alike.

Setting Up Your Spaghetti Sensory Bin

• Cooked spaghetti (you can add food coloring for an extra pop of fun!)

• A large bin or tray

• Kitchen tools like tongs, spoons, and cups for scooping and sorting

Simply cook and cool the spaghetti, add some vibrant colours if you’d like, and place it all in a bin for little hands to explore. The different textures and slippery feel make it an exciting sensory experience, helping to develop fine motor skills, coordination, and even early imaginative play.

Sensory Play Benefits

Before children master skills like holding a pencil or tying their shoes, they need plenty of opportunities to engage their senses! Squishing, stretching, and picking up slippery noodles strengthens their hand muscles, improves coordination, and encourages problem-solving. Plus, adding different tools like tongs or measuring cups introduces early math and science concepts through sorting and measuring.

The Perfect Outdoor Play Companion: SOHLS Shoes

If you’re taking your spaghetti sensory bin outdoors, the right footwear is key! SOHLS shoes are designed for little explorers who love to play, splash, and move freely. With their lightweight design, kids can easily transition from sensory play to running and climbing without feeling weighed down. The non-slip soles provide the perfect grip on different surfaces, keeping little feet safe even on wet or messy terrain. Plus, their breathable and flexible design supports natural foot development, making them ideal for all-day adventures.
