Breakfast Sensory Bin For Kids

breakfast, sensory bin


{Materials}
  • Plastic bin with cover
  • Smaller containers
  • Spoons
  • Different types and textures of cereal
  • I used oatmeal, Cheerios, Rice Krispies, Corn Flakes, Frosted Mini Wheats
  • Raisins
  • Nuts
  • Other dried fruit

{Method}
  • Separate all of the different cereals into small containers
  • Place containers and spoons into the bin
  • Give the sensory bin to your children at breakfast time  
  • Sit back and watch them pour the containers together, spoon the cereal from cup to cup and eat as they play.
  • My 2.5 year old spent 30 minutes playing and eating when I gave him the Breakfast Sensory Bin.
  • Since it is full of all dry cereal, nuts and fruit you can place the cover on and use the bin again the next day.
  • It would be fun if you had different colored cereals but I was mostly interested in different textures.
