Kaleb has loved the sensory bin full of the nuts and he asks to play with it daily. But I finally got tired of always cleaning the nuts up as well as finding them downstairs, in pockets, and under every piece of furniture I own. So, I decided to change the sensory bin. He does not like the fur-fru of my speciality bins, even though I still try to entice him with my color bins and such. I went with something more simple - beans. I gave Kaleb a large bin filled with different beans that had served J well in the past few years.
He was very busy pouring and scooping. I had to remind him several times to stay on the blanket. No matter how many times I do that, beans still end up everywhere.
I'd say that the bean sensory is a success! It is easier to clean, no. It makes no difference - beans, rice, nuts - Kaleb is going to make a mess. But he loves this activity and who am I to take it away from him?
I want to make a small note that some beans are harmful if ingested without being cooked. Please watch your child when playing with small items.
