Easy Apple Sensory Bin for Preschoolers

Sensory activities encourage children to explore using their 5 senses!

The five senses, sight, touch, hearing, taste and smell, are the building blocks of how young children investigate and begin to understand the world around them.

One easy way to set up a sensory activity is with a sensory bin. A sensory bin (it also could be a table) helps contain the mess making it easy for you to clean up yet allowing children to explore and discover using their senses.

This sensory bin has the smell of apple pie! Perfect addition to learning about apples.
