Easter or Spring Sensory Bin

I have had the items for this bin for a while.  I just picked up a few things here and there - mostly at the $1 Spot at Target.  Once again the kids really enjoyed it.  I had enough to make two bins so they could all do it.

Items we used:

Blue and purple Easter grass

Mini plastic eggs

Pom poms

Easter themed erasers - big and small

Prickly pom poms (I don't know the technical term)

2 big plastic eggs with "jumping" bunnies inside

Pretty sparkled foam stickers

I also placed small bowls and ice cube trays for sorting.  I gave them plastic spoons and tongs to use as well.

Some Ideas to do:

• Have them find all of the hidden items.
• Sort pom poms in ice cube trays by color. 
• Hide items in mini plastic eggs - can also put matching color of pom poms into plastic eggs.
• Sort items with like items
• Make patterns with the items
• Or just play!

My kids have loved these bins.  We pulled this one out early and I plan to keep it handy to play with for a while.
