space sensory bin

This week I put out a space sensory bin for the kidlets to explore. 

The base is black beans sprinkled with a couple different sizes of silver stars.

I added:

space toob

glow in the dark stars and moon rocks

yellow sparkly pom poms

black pom poms

planet looking marbles

blue and black glass gems

space shaped containers

a couple of scoops/spoons

the kidlets add:

imagination

storytelling

oral language

co-operation

sharing

turn taking

counting

sorting

and a few more thing that I can't think of this late at night

A few simple bits and pieces in a clear plastic bin invites so much rich learning.  

I love sensory bins.
