Activity For Kids:
Festive ornament scoop sensory bin
This festive sensory bin is fabulous for kids who like sensory bins, water transfer and of course, the holidays.
And if you buy baubles from the dollar store, or use ones you already have, it's a very cost effective kids activity too.
This activity is inspired by ideas from Festive ornament scoop sensory bin.
What you'll learn
This activity is great to teach your kids:
Hand eye coordination activities help kids use their hands (and muscles) and eyes at the same time. When the two work together, young children begin to increase their ability to pick up, grasp, and manipulate objects.
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
I did this activity at our playcentre's Christmas party and the kids loved playing with the balls and water. I dyed the water green and added red and gold baubles. I didn't add spoons for scooping but rather let the kids just explore the sensory bin.
