This sensory bin includes: • 4 cups cocoa puff cereal • mini marshmallows • two 10 oz white paper cups • 4” wooden scooper • 12 task cards (laminated) • 1 mini metal whisk * this does NOT include the bin... you can purchase cheap bins from the store to fit your preference. The bins I use are from the IKEA Flisat table! Differentiation: • Easier: This sensory bin can be for the really early toddler who doesn’t know his/her numbers yet. Let them explore and play on their own by making cups of hot cocoa without the direction of the task cards! Once your child gets older, introduce the task cards for number exposure, number recognition, counting and one-to-one correspondence. • Harder: The task cards provide a way for the child to work on their number skills while learning in a fun, engaging, imaginative kind of way! Guide them through how to use the cards until they’re able to independently complete them. This bin includes small items that are choking hazards and not recommended under 3 unless there's adult supervision present. This bin also includes food (cocoa puffs and mini marshmallows) so although the food is edible, parental supervision should be present if your child puts things to his/her mouth.
