Space Sensory Bin

Looking for a fun, hands-on way for your preschooler/toddler to explore and imagine to the thrill of our solar system? Here is a fun way to make a sensory bin those little hands are sure to love.

What I used:

4 bags of black sand (dollar store)

dried black beans

diamonds/gems for stars

astronaut and spaceship clipart that I laminated

marbled 3D planets

And that’s it! Super simple, fun textures, and lots of colorful planets.
