Dinosaur Sensory Bin Idea

DIY Dinosaur Sensory Bin Idea For Toddlers To Play With

Super EASY Sensory Dinosaur Bin Idea

Like any young boy these days, my son is starting to get an obsession with dinosaurs. Not sure where he picked it up from, but he loves to walk around saying “rawr.”

Since dinosaurs seem to be the “it” thing at the moment – that is what inspired this Dinosaur Sensory Bin Idea. With a few dollars and a quick trip to my local Dollar Tree, I was able to pull this learning bin together within a few minutes {and for cheap!}

With no surprise – someone absolutely LOVED it and I love the fine motor skills & educational aspect of it.

If you would like to make this sensory bin for your child – let’s talk supplies. Shall we?

Find all the details below in the dinosaur sensory bin tutorial! Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures on our Facebook page, when you pull it off for your toddler! #gluedtomycrafts

PLEASE REMEMBER TO ALWAYS SUPERVISE CHILDREN WHILE THEY PLAY WITH, IN AND AROUND THEIR SENSORY BIN. WHEN IN DOUBT – THROW IT OUT. YOU DON’T HAVE TO USE ALL OR ANY OF THE MATERIALS I USED. IF YOUR CHILD PUTS ITEMS IN THEIR MOUTH, THIS IS PROBABLY NOT A GOOD ACTIVITY FOR THEM. PLEASE USE GOOD PARENTAL JUDGEMENT WHEN RECREATING OUR CRAFTY IDEAS.

Directions:

  • First cut up your clean, empty egg carton into pieces. These are the dinosaur fossils/bones.
  • Throw in the plastic dinosaurs, egg carton pieces and decorative rocks into your empty bin.
  • Now pour your dried beans into the plastic bin and cover everything up so it looks like dirt.
  • Place scoop in bin and ask your child to “search” for the dinosaur pieces.
  • Then see their face light up as they “explore” in their dinosaur sensory bin!
