Easter Sensory Bin Water Play Activity

Setting up a good sensory bin for my girls is probably something we do more than twice a week! 

It’s simple, it’s fun and they play for a really long time! 

I love adding a cute and fun theme to our sensory bins once in a while. 

This time around I themed our sensory bin for – Easter! 

Easter time is always so much fun and is a perfect call for an Easter sensor bin! 

I also made this one fun with a mix of water play within it. 

If you don’t know already, water play is top 5 in our home! 

Somewhat like sensory play it is a piece of sensory play we love and my girls can literally play for hours and hours throughout the day with a simple water bin.

Water Play Sensory Activities for Toddlers

This water sensory bin is perfect for toddlers. 

It allows for the benefits of: 

• Hand and eye coordination

• Fine motor skills

• Sensory play

And more.. 

This play set up is perfect for Easter and will help toddlers learn their colors, basic counting skills such as counting from 1-5. 

My girls enjoy playing with the water and scooping the bubbles up. 

Miss 4 enjoyed making me bubble soup with the soapy water. 

She then added two pretend eggs on top and it was a wonderful pretend feast! 

Water Play Sensory Activities for Preschoolers 

Preschoolers can practice all that toddlers play and learn and more! 

Instead of counting from 1-5 eggs they can explore even more numbers. 

What about colors?

They can also learn about colors and color mixing. 

Change the eggs to include two colors on the bottom and top. 

For example, add a yellow top and a blue bottom. 

Talk about what color comes out by adding in one of their green toys. 

This is great for remembering and learning quickly by visually seeing it!
