This lemonade sensory bin is seriously so much fun! Not only will your little one get to fell all the textures but they’ll also get to use their hands to create their own delicious lemonade.


 

Summertime fun means letting the kids get their hands and outfits just a little bit wet and messy to really be able to explore all the objects around them. And while this sensory bin is also tasty, it’s a great way for them to learn about how lemons truly can be turned into lemonade as well.

Lemonade Sensory Bin

Sensory bins really are great. It’s like giving your child permission to feel their way around objects that they just normally don’t get to. And sure, while your little one can always grab a lemon when they want to, how often do they get to deal with sliced lemons and ice when it’s not in a cup?

Use this lemonade sensory bin to let them really get in there and explore. Talk to them about the taste, the feel or how simple it can be to create something cool and refreshing to drink. This is a great taste-safe sensory bin for 1 year olds and toddlers who learn best through hands-on play! 

And if you’re brave enough, maybe take a sip of what they’ve been mixing around!

What are the benefits of sensory bins?

There are actually quite a few! Sensory bins allow for creativity, imagination and being able to explore based upon texture, temperature, and feel. When toddlers can use their hands to learn about items and objects, they’ll be more apt to learn how to use their senses as well.
