Oh Arrrr me hearties!
Today we have a fantastically sensory based treasure chest for your little pirates.
Simply gather them together with your water beads and you have yourself an easy sensory activity.
We guarantee you wont be able to stop yourselves from sticking your own arms into the looted treasure chest.
So lets hop to it!
Get your mini pirate to get exploring the treasure!
SAFETY WARNING:Never leave your children unattended with water beads.
They are a choking hazard and if ingested will expand in their stomachs.
If you have pets be mindful they dont swallow or eat any also.
TIP: Want to add a bit more fun to this sensory bin if you have slightly older children?
Why not blind fold them and see if they can guess what they are finding in the treasure chest.
We filled it with coloured rice, varying sizes of white pom poms and little shells.
We then put some scoop pinchers to be used to get them out.
Whyintroduce sensory play to your child?
This means it is filling a developmental space that was missing that day.
Sensory bottles for example are often referred to as calm down bottles.
Using glitter in them children will sit entranced watching as it moves.
This is similar to how we as adults may feel when we gaze into a fire.
That moment of mesmerising stillness, when you are physically still, watching something else that is not.
It brings you to the present and quietens the mind.
Howdo I make a sensory bin?
While sensory bottles encourage visual stillness, sensory bins are made for touching!
The sheer variation to them are limitless.
As well as touch you might even add smell and taste if you wished too.
The reason these bins have become so popular in recent years is that they are also inexpensive to make.
Create a theme and then get thinking.
