Sensory activities for preschoolers

We're all stuck at home lately and the kids are getting antsy. There's nothing better than pulling out homemade sensory bins or quiet activities for them to keep busy. I looked online and soon realized that the going price for pre-made sensory bins were going for around $30-60 a PIECE! I don't know about you but I just couldn't drop that kind of money. So I wandered off to my local Dollar Tree and scoured every aisle to put together a bunch of sensory bins. My homemade bins cost me $10-12 per bin. I call that a win! Under each photo you can click the links to get the full supply list for some sensory play fun!

Ocean Sensory Bin- I wanted an under the sea looking sensory bin that I could add actual water to. Get the supply list and details here.

Construction Sensory Bin- My son is obsessed with all things trucks, cars, and construction so there were plenty of things I found to complete this bin! Get the supply list and details here.

Farm Sensory Bin- Farm pretend play is always a favorite with the kiddos! Although the corn and popcorn kernals did not come from the dollar store. Get the supply list and details here.

Dinosaur Sensory Bin- Out of all the sensory bins I made, this dinosaur one was the biggest hit with my son. Get the supply list and details here.

Playdough Button Sensory Bin- This small parts sensory bin is a good one for kids to build fine motor skills. Get the supply list and details here.
