I have been so excited to create St. Patty themed sensory bins. Most often you think of the color green when it comes to St. Patrick's Day, but I love to focus on a rainbow of colors. In the past I have used rainbow rice and dry green lentils, but this year I wanted to try something different! The main fillers I use in the dry sensory bin are a combination of rainbow pony and headphone beads. From there each day I will switch out the other elements, which include rainbow bottle caps, fabric shamrocks, plastic shamrock containers, porcupine leprechauns, mini pots, hats, large plastic shamrocks, and green four-leaf clover coins, and rubber charms featuring a rainbow, pot of gold, leprechaun hat, and a shamrock. Each day will also focus on a different learning goal. One day kids will hunt for all the gold (yellow beads) with tweezers and fill all the pots with gold. Another day they will find the green coins and match them to printed pot picture with numbers on them. The next day they will match upper and lowercase bottlecaps (dot stickers will be added). All of these items (and a whole LOT more) can be found on Oriental Trading's website. Check out their St. Patrick's Day selection here: http://www.orientaltrading.com/holidays/st--patricks-day-a1-550659.fltr No compensation was received for writing this post, however the items features were provided complimentary from Oriental Trading.
