Dollar Tree Valentine’s Sensory Bin

You know we LOVE ❤️ a sensory bin around here! This one is all about hearts and love and all the Valentines frilliness! ALL of these items were found at the Dollar Tree! You can’t beat that!

REEL TUTORIAL on my instagram now on how to make this simple sensory bin!

Here’s what they have this year!

The Dollar Tree is always an awesome option for sensory bin fillers! You can make a super easy one for under 10 dollars depending on how many items you want to use as fillers.

Sensory bins are just for exploration - there should be no pressure for them to be perfect! You can always use items from home as you typically see on my instagram as well. Things like rice, water or dry pasta are great for sensory activities! Your little one just wants to explore their sense of touch with a variety of materials.

It really couldn’t be more simple - throw it all in a bin and call it a day! Give your little Valentine some tongs or scoopers (I like to use measuring cups even), and let them at it! Give them a chance to explore new textures, colors and shapes.

Keep it in a container that you can continue to pull out through February for a quick activity when you need a few minutes to yourself! Obviously, make sure to monitor if your bucket has items that are a chocking hazard to your baby or toddler. Enjoy! ♥️
