Activity For Kids:
Easter egg & rice sensory bin
My kids love sensory bins filled with rice. And this activity adds plastic Easter eggs to the mix.
It’s really a beautiful looking sensory bin, and you can add whatever you have or want.
This activity is inspired by ideas from Easter egg & rice sensory bin.
What you'll learn
This activity is great to teach your kids:
Fine motor skills involve movement of the smaller muscle groups in your child's hands, fingers, and wrists.
Developing fine motor skills will help your child to write and prepares her for school. But it will also help your children with everyday tasks like eating, and dressing themselves.
Colour recognition activities helps children get to know the different colors and color blending and matching.
Sensory play is play that involves all the senses - taste, sound, sight, touch and smell. Sensory play is very beneficial to children. Research shows that sensory play builds nerve connections in the brain’s pathways, which lead to the child’s ability to complete more complex learning tasks. Sensory play is also very relaxing and rejuvenating to children.

We tried it
This activity turned out beautifully and looked so much fun to play with.
My kids really enjoyed playing with this Easter themed sensory bin. I am glad that I bought little chicks and bunnies to add to the bin, since it turned into imaginary play.
This bin was out for 3 hours and my kids played with it on and off. We also did the spin and spell activity and made up one of our own - hiding objects in the bigger Easter eggs and guessing what's inside.
