<\/p>\n<\/div>\nThe St. Patrick’s Day Gold Find Sensory Bin is a great addition to the Saint Patrick’s Day activities<\/a> and sensory bins<\/a> on the site.<\/p>\n A sensory bin is typically a plastic tub or container filled with carefully selected materials and objects to stimulate the senses of children in preschool.<\/p>\n Sensory bins might have rice, water beads, corn, beans, or other types filled with small items.<\/p>\n St. Patrick’s Day Gold Find Sensory Bin is a simple sensory bin with only two items. You have the gold rocks and the green sand. Very simple to set up and use.<\/p>\n We have included links to some of the products and resources we have used with this activity.

Plus then do the sensory bin afterward.<\/p>\n There are just a few ideas to use the St. Patrick’s Day sensory bin.<\/p>\n Sensory play is a huge part of sensory bins. And kids can enjoy playing in the sand and rocks. It is fun to see how kids explore a sensory bin without any suggestions.<\/p>\n You can hide all the gold under the sand and have them dig the gold out. It is a great way to get them into the bin really quickly. It is super easy to set up as well!<\/p>\n Then they can just dig all the gold out from the sand. I love to see if they can hold the gold in one hand and dig with the other. You can switch hands with the gold as well.<\/p>\n I love that kids can be as creative as they want with a sensory bin. I can suggest things but they always have the best ideas for play.<\/p>\n With the kinetic sand it holds its shape and you can build on it. She put some gold in the middle and then put sand all around it.<\/p>\n You might also want to talk about kindness while you are doing the sensory bin with this fun St. Patrick’s Day Kindness Challenge<\/a>.<\/p>\n Then she put all gold in the center and buried it. There is no wrong way to play with the sensory bin. And she gets great sensory input and wonderful fine motor in as well.<\/p>\n She made a tower of the sand and pressed the gold into the sand. You can see how pushing them in is great fine motor work.<\/p>\n You can also use the gold pieces to make letters in the sand. I have some fun St. Patrick’s Day letters<\/a>! They work great with the ABCs<\/p>\n And it also works for numbers! You can get some fun St. Patrick’s day Day numbers<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n There is no wrong way to use the sensory bin! It is always fun to see how creative kids can play in the bin! But If all they do is play in the sensory bin that is okay.<\/p>\n A fun St. Patrick’s Day Sensory Bin<\/a>.
