Star Wars Sensory Bin
Written by: Christine | May 3, 2022
If your little ones are anything like ours, they love to explore through sensory play! Sensory Bins are so popular right now and have so many benefits for development in tons of areas like fine motor skills, language and creativity. You can use items you already have and things from your pantry. We love using dried beans, rice, chickpeas (all of which can be colored using food coloring to match your theme), kinetic sand, playdoh and water. Check out this special "May the Fourth" version below with links to recreate it at home!
*Always supervise your younger ones closely if they are still in an "everything in the mouth" phase and choose taste safe options.
Here is a fun bonus; there is not a whole lot of toddler friendly Star Wars content. Lego Star Wars episodes can even get a little scary for the under 5 crowd. Introducing the characters and universe in play may help your kids recognize and get excited to spend time at Galaxy's Edge so you can enjoy and explore there together! We like to start off with a book to draw together the theme and add special language to the play. For this activity we found this low cost and adorable option.
What you'll need:
Black beans~ 4lb bag for "space"
Playdoh
Sensory tools (This set is great but we also have found great scoops and tongs and cups at the dollar store)
Glow in the dark stars
Light sabers (glow bracelets)
*We had purchased this bath toy set on our last trip and have seen them in Target since but they appear to be sold out right now
We recommend checking out our Cold Brew Black Caf remake and sipping on that treat while your littles explore a galaxy far far away. Get ready for hours of fun!
May the Fourth be with you!
