Easy Easter Sensory Bin and Sight Word Practice Activity

March 24, 2014 by OneMommy

Looking for a low prep activity to put together that will entertain your toddler or preschooler while you get some spring cleaning done?  (Or maybe you just need 5 minutes of “mom time.”)

Check out this super easy Easter Sensory Bin.  You’ll also want to check out our other simple Easter Crafts & Activities.

Easter Sensory Bin

Crinkly paper Easter grass makes the perfect filler for a Easter sensory bin.

Add some plastic eggs with a small surprise in each of the eggs.  I used jelly beans, a little rubber duck, and a small bunny.   Your child will be surprised even if they are toys they already have that you borrow for this bin.

Make a few orange pipe cleaner carrots by wrapping cut pipe cleaner pieces around a pencil to make a spring shape.  Add a bit of green pipe cleaner to the top.

If desired you could also add larger items like the bendy rabbits and light-up squishy chicks you see in the picture below.

My preschooler was excited to see  his “bendy bunny” from last year, and the crinkly grass was quite a hit.

But his favorite part?   Definitely the jelly beans that were in some of the eggs.

Easter Sight Word Activity

Ready to take that sensory bin to a whole new level?

Easter sight word practice -- turn a simple Easter sensory bin into sight word practice for older kids.

What I love about sensory bins is that you can easily make them for a broader range of ages just by changing a few things.

Change it up for early elementary kids and turn it into an Easter-themed sight word activity.

Simply use a black permanent maker to write sight words on the outside of the plastic eggs.  (You can easily remove the words later using hand sanitizer.)

Each time your child correctly reads a word from the Easter sensory bin, they can open the egg to find a hidden treasure.   We love making sight word practice fun!
