They come in all shapes and sizes. This sensory bin was tons of fun to explore and look at the different textures and weights of all items in the bin. This is also a great white themed sensory bin as well. <\/p>\n<p>We did a lot of fun fine motor activities with this bin that was all lead by what she wanted to do with the bin. Sensory bins are a great child lead activities because they change up how they want to do it each time. For us my girls never play the same way with any sensory bin.<\/p>\n<div align=\"Center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/blog\/1-2015\/snowflakesensorybin.jpg\" alt=\"Snowflake Sensory Bin: Fine Motor Fun - 3Dinosaurs.com\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=http%3A%2F%2F3dinosaurs.com%2Fwordpress%2Findex.php%2Fsnowflake-sensory-bin-fine-motor-fun%2F&#038;media=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.3dinosaurs.com%2Fimages%2Fblog%2F1-2015%2Fsnowflakesensorybin.jpg&#038;description=Snowflake%20Sensory%20Bin%3A%20Fine%20Motor%20Fun%20-%203Dinosaurs.com\" data-pin-do=\"buttonPin\" data-pin-config=\"beside\" data-pin-color=\"red\" data-pin-height=\"28\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/images\/pidgets\/pinit_fg_en_rect_red_28.png\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>We read the book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0374468621\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=0374468621&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=3dinos-20&#038;linkId=7DG45ZYCRPHXHBZJ\">Snow (Sunburst Books)<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=3dinos-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=0374468621\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/>.

She also took time to sort some of the three gems types.<\/p>\n<div align=\"Center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/blog\/1-2015\/snowflakesensorybin2.jpg\" alt=\"Snowflake Sensory Bin: Fine Motor Fun - 3Dinosaurs.com\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Fine Motor<\/h2>\n<p>Another fun activity she did was to place each of the items around the top of the bin.
