Winter Wonderland Sensory Bin

In Texas we don't really get white Christmas's, we occasionally get snow flurries maybe even enough to stick for an hour or so but never snow up to your ankles. The last time I remember snow like that in Texas I was six...so it's been a while ;)  Since I don't think we are planning a winter trip this year I brought winter to us in the form of a sensory bin.

It doesn't take a lot to make a sensory bin, or a lot of money. I got most of the things on sale before Thanksgiving, all under $2. The most expensive thing in there is the Toob- Arctic animals pack. Most of the items are from Hobby Lobby, Dollar Store or Michael's)

So what's in there...
1 bag fake snow
 mini presents for small trees
 pack of small and large trees for Christmas villages
 cinnamon sticks
fake candy canes (Dollar store)
 scrap booking die cut snowflakes
 mini snowmen and penguins
 Toob animals (Michael's)

B exploring the bin.
*If you use the snow; put a blanket/towel down under the bin for easy clean up,
 or you'll be finding snow pieces for weeks. ;)
