Happy April! Spring is officially in the air and we’re enjoying the outdoors here in Arizona as much as possible before 120 degree summer weather hits. I’ve rounded up 15 fun sensory bin activities for Spring, perfect to do indoors or outdoors with your kiddos. Sensory bins are a great hands on way for your child to explore and learn through play. Plus, they tend to keep my 2 1/2 year old occupied for a good hour (major plus)! Happy Spring tot schoolers!
