Winter Sensory Bin for the Win!

Well, its been a while since I last posted, but I'm back!! I am loving Kindergarten.  We are all things winter in my room!! I love teaching winter units, and fall units, and spring units, well I like them all pretty much!  I am a thematic unit teaching kind of gal!  Anyway, I wanted to hop on for a second and tell you about my winter sensory bin.  I have a sandbox, that I don't use for sand....SAY WHAT?!? Yes, I love sand sensory bins, but I have found some less messy alternatives than sand.  This sensory table has the following items: plastic crystal beads( Hobby Lobby), white and blue pom poms( Hobby Lobby), felt letters (Target Dollar Spot), mini erasers(Target Dollar Spot), and felt snow( I cut it up).  I also have some letter sound mitten puzzles in there as well.  There are so many ways to do a sensory bin.  Our Kindergarten team has incorporated DAP (Developmentally Appropriate Practice) into our classrooms.  There are so many kiddos that need the exposure of a sensory bins.


My sand table is like this one:

Have a Fabulous weekend!
