Note: If your child does not like wet or slimy textures, swap for a dry base such as sand, uncooked rice, or dry pasta. - Hide some plastic toys in the bin. Note: Pick a theme for your bin and match the plastic toys with the theme! - Add your scent booster based on your kiddo's preferences: lemon juice, cinnamon, and skin-safe essential oil. Note: Only add a few drops or sprinkles of each. You don't want to make the scent too overpowering for your little one. - Add in your ice cubes if your kiddo is comfortable with cold sensations. You can also experiment with different ice cube molds to fit your theme. - Place your scooper or other tools that allow your kiddo to explore the hidden items, and your sensory bin is ready for playtime!Download Now!
