Calling all astronauts in training… T-5 minutes and counting- Start auxiliary power units and prepare to blast off into outer space with this fun space sensory bin!
Homework and Horseplay’s Space Sensory Bin
This year we are studying astronomy, and I thought it would be fun for Jack and the girls I babysit to have a space themed sensory bin to go along with our studies. To create this bin I used:
- Dried black beans
- Marbles
- Yellow “diamond” vase filler
- Tinfoil balls
- Galaxy bounceballs
- Space themed erasers
- Plastic bowl
- Ice cream scoops
- Clear and blue glass rocks
- Astronaut action figure (ok-I know this isn’t really an astronaut, but sometimes a girl uses what she has on hand!)
I was able to find all of the supplies for this space sensory bin at my local Dollar Tree store. I don’t know what I would do without this place!
Helpful Hint:
Purchase a vinyl tablecloth to put on the floor under sensory bins. I have a rule that ALL sensory materials must stay on the tablecloth. This helps prevent a major mess since some sensory materials are quite small. When your child is done playing you can pick up the corners of the tablecloth and pour everything back into the bin. I also highly recommend using a bin with a lid for easier storage.
Thank you for checking out my Space Sensory Bin…
I hope your children enjoyed their trip around the moon and back!
