Dollar Store Easter Sensory Bin


I created this Easter Sensory Bin after stocking up on items from the dollar store. I know there's no shortage of these sensory bins on Pinterest but I still wanted to share our seasonal Easter Sensory Bin because it was so incredibly easy to put together, super inexpensive and more importantly the girls had so much fun with it!


I filled it with a few bags of beans, plastic eggs, and Easter grass. That's it! Just like I said, SO EASY! 



My 3 year old enjoyed exploring with the the beans and plastic eggs. She loved scooping them into the eggs, closing it and shaking the eggs. She also enjoyed dumping them out.



My 4 year old wanted to fit the grass into the eggs but decided she needed scissors to help her with this task. So we brought out the scissors and both girls enjoyed cutting the grass. This is an example of allowing the children to lead in their play. Bringing the scissors out was not originally planned by me. It was entirely her idea and we went with it!



Just a few dollar store items put together in a bin and you can have hours of creative play!

  1. Wow! What an awesome idea! A sensory play box for Easter, how cute! I wish I would have thought about this idea when my fiancee's nephew was down here visiting.

    I will definitely remember to do this once we start our family :) Thanks for sharing!
