Simple Spring Sensory Activities



This Easy Spring Water Sensory Bin will help with eye-hand coordination while adding a scented sensory experience.  It’s easy set-up and easy clean-up, too!


This Spring Sensory Bag is mess-free and addresses visual percepetual skills like scanning, eye-hand coordination, and proprioception.  We created our sensory bag with a bug theme, but this is an activity that can be modified to many different areas. 


Dandelion Sensory Bin is an easy way to explore texture and the sense of touch.  It’s an easy set-up sensory activity that is sure to build memories.  My kids are still talking about this activity from last Spring.  


Grow a Sensory Garden and touch all of the senses as you create your garden.  The best thing about a sensory garden is that it is a sensory goldmine that lasts throughout the summer and fall, too!
