I love using dinosaur sensory bins in my autism programs at me learning center. Sensory toys are perfect for sensory play, to build communication skills and to teach imitation and play skills. They are so much fun!
3 dinosaur sensory bins you will love
Sensory swamp
The kids loved this project – especially the wetness of the dinosaurs, leaves and rocks!
Fishing for dinosaurs ice experiment
We tried this activity in a small group and the kids thought it was very funny to play with the ice, to watch it melt and to discover the dinosaurs as they “popped” out!
Dinosaur dig
Everyone had so much putting this project together and the children loved digging in the dried beans. We hid dinosaurs under the beans and the kids had fun finding them, pulling them out and roarrrrrring!
