The Llama-Inspired Valentine Sensory Bin
_______
White glutinous rice is the base for this pretty bin. It is a go-to sensory bin base because of its bright white color.
As in the llama-inspired winter sensory tub, the bin is a white food bus bin, also a common item in my sensory activities.
The llama ornaments are foam-based, so are suitable for early learners to handle and explore. Thqt being said, all sensory activities for little ones should be closely supervised by a caregiver.
Heart necklaces cut in strips make attractive loose parts.
A heart-shaped storage container is a happy Dollar Store find and matches the color theme of the bin.
The pink heart-shaped measuring spoon offers little learners a chance to scoop and pour.
A little wooden peg family is accented with blue, pink, and silver acrylic paint.
The valentine-shaped basket has a positive message.
Blue and/or pink foam hearts, cookie cutters, and pompoms round out the loose parts in the bin.
