You can snag all these items at your local Dollar Tree. I was able to grab all my items at the Dollar Tree. But you can also shop online, head to a local craft store, etc.
How to Make Sensory Bin
- Place your dinosaurs in your bin. Then you will sprinkle your gems on.
- Add on the colored sand in your sensory bin.
- Then use the paintbrushes and use it to dig up and dust away from the dinosaurs in the sand.
*Optional: Place dinosaurs in the bin first before adding sand. Then, kids can “dig them up” with spoons and paintbrushes, just like a real dinosaur dig!
