You’ve all seen the incredibly fun, cute sensory kits on Pinterest and blogs and thought,
“That would be so fun to do for my kids (students)!”
Then the busy day gets in the way and you don’t take the time to run to 3 different stores, or get online, to get all the different parts that make up the sensory kit.

I was even given an amazing book:
150+ Screen-Free Activities for Kids by Asia Citro, MEd, which got me wanting to do these sensory activities more!
My kids were going through the book, making lists of everything we needed to build the kits. The list sat there and sat there… until FINALLY… I made time and got what we needed.

I was amazed at how FUN and educational the kits were. I was also amazed to see how my 5 year old, 8 year old and even 10 year old enjoyed playing with them! The kits encouraged language use, social skills (sibling quarrels), science research and application, creative thinking and problem solving.
“Since we know that young children rely on sensory input to learn about their environment, sensory play opportunities are an ideal time to focus on language stimulation in a meaningful context, which is crucial to early language learning.”

And “sensory experiences are like food for the brain…they provide valuable input that allows the brain to build new pathways that in turn support growth in crucial areas of development.”
You know sensory kits would benefit your child and/or your students!
You have a theme you want to use a kit with, and you probably already have a bin at home or school you can use!

Just find a bin of the right size (all of the kits can fit in a medium to large size bin), open up your kit and put it all together. They are ready for your kids/students. The kits with water beads will need to have time and water to grow, but that’s also a fun project to do with the kids.
