This bug small world is a rock sensory bin that builds fine motor skills through play. Let’s break down how we made this sensory bin activity.
Bug Sensory Bin
This is all about sensory bins! Each blogger is featuring a different sensory bin filler. So WHAT is a sensory bin filler you ask?? You know the stuff that makes up the base of the sensory bin. Sand, shredded paper, or any other textural item might be the base of your sensory bin and part of the sensory experience.
We decided to make our sensory bin with a rock filler. We filled a bin with rocks and added a bug small world for play and exploration. What fun!
Bug Sensory Bin
This bug sensory bin was a fun way to explore bugs and insects while developing fine motor skills.
We started with a bin of river rock and added some touches to make a bug small world. These bugs, a few fake flowers, and strands of floral filler made a pretty fun small world.
We were ready to play!
These bugs are too cute and just right for some pretend play.
Baby Girl used a magnifying glass to examine the bugs. Love that squashed up nose!
We had a ton of fun pretending these little bugs were a family and building a house with rocks.
You’ve got to examine the rocks with the magnifying glass, of course.
Manipulating the rocks, bugs, and pieces to our sensory bin provided great fine motor play, language development, sensory exploration, and just plain fun!

St. Patrick’s Day fun is all around! We created a SUPER fun small world and imagination play activity and have been loving all of the rainbows, leprechauns, and pretending.
Maybe the best part of this small world was creating all of the little parts that went into it. Our rainbow cardboard tube craft came into play for some good imagination. Picture overload coming up here… the fun was just too much!

They turned out very cute and have been part of our play for a few days now. These cute little guys have made their way into the Little People house, into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle lair, and even hung out with a few Lego guys! They’ve been well accepted into our toy collection 😉
The leprechauns needed a place to call their own, so Baby Girl and I painted a few leprechaun houses. Baby Girl is my little artist and always up for a painting project, so this was big time fun for her! Baby Girl’s leprechaun house is perfectly rainbow-y! I think the leprechauns are happy with their new homes.
He looks pretty pleased with his new home…
Leprechaun Sensory Small World
Adding in our rainbow cardboard tube and some rocks as a base, we had a pretty cute tray for sensory play. This was an invitation for imagination, pretend play, and fun!
Little Guy got right in there and had the leprechauns visiting each other’s houses, building a rock side walk, and chatting it up!
Baby Girl baaaadly wanted her leprechaun to get into his house. She tried. Repeatedly.
The leprechauns made a few trips under the rainbow and just had good St. Patrick’s Day fun!

We are so excited to share our first Spring activity of the year! This winter has been a loooong one! (and with it still being frigidly cold out side with inches of snow on the ground…the actual first signs of Spring seem a long way off!)
This Spring Sensory Water Bin is part of the All Things Kids bloggers Spring Sensory Play Date Activities series during the month of March. We put this water bin together to celebrate Spring and friends. What better way to kick off warmth and sunshine with a playdate with friends. When you get a few toddler or preschool-aged friends together, what better way to play than with sensory play activities?
Spring Sensory Water Bin

Our opinions and ideas are in no way affected. You can read our full disclosure policy here. As always, we thank you for your support and community here at Sugar Aunts.}
We are big fans of water bins for play and this one was no different! We started with a bin of water scented with Pomegranate Body Scrub. Just a little bit of the bath salts were all we needed to scent the water with a nice Spring fresh scent. Any scented bath salts (or body wash/bubble bath) would work. We just wanted to get a fresh scent and the rose colored water.
You’ll want to watch smaller children who are playing with this water bin very closely. You don’t want any tastes of the scented water, and especially if salts are being used! Use your best judgment and if there is a concern, eliminate the scented portion of this activity. Regular water would work fin, or even a few drops of food coloring, if you want to achieve the colored part of the water bin.
I added a few foam butterfly crafting sheets
and foam tulip crafting sheets to the water bin and a handful of foam Spring stickers. When these foam sheets and stickers get wet, they can stick to the foam and plastic plates very easily. They can be removed and placed again and again without difficulty.
Placing these foam stickers on the large foam sheets is a great way to practice tip to tip grasp and fine motor skills. baby Girl had a hard time understanding that the sticker’s backs would not peel off once they were wet, but she got the hang of just placing the foam shapes in different places once I showed her.
Scooping up the floating shapes from the scented water was so much fun and a great way to practice visual scanning and eye-hand coordination, too. We didn’t add any scoops to this activity, but a few kitchen utensils like large spoons or an ice cream scoop would be a fun way to further extend this sensory water bin.
Baby Girl just enjoyed getting her hands in the water and grabbing up the shapes. Sensory play at it’s finest!
We used our plastic plates
to sort and play with the foam stickers. The wet stickers stuck nicely to the plastic plates, too.
What is water play without a little scooping and transferring? A couple of small bowls and a turkey baster were perfect for more fine motor play in our Spring water bin.
Using the turkey baster to transfer scented water not only stimulates the senses, but works on gross hand grasp. What a great fine motor strengthening tool the turkey baster is!
Hopefully this is inspiration for your next play date. If you’re worried about the mess, you could set this up in a small baby pool or in a bath tub. If you’re in warmer climates than we are, take it outside. I know we will be re-doing this activity once the weather turns and we can get outside!
Let us know if you do this Spring Sensory Water bin or something like it. We would love to hear about it or see pictures. Just stop by our Facebook page and share your fun with us!
Be sure to catch all of the other Spring Sensory Play Date Activities being posted this week over at our bloggy friend’s sites:
Do you have a Spring Sensory activity to share? Link it up all month long below. we will be pinning to the All Things Kids Pinterest board and creating a round-up of fun Spring Sensory Play Date Activities at the end of the month. We would love to feature YOU!
Signs of spring are on their way! Use the sensory activities listed below to create a sensory playdate filled with everything Spring. It’s the perfect time of year to meet up with friends and play through the senses!
Spring Sensory Play Date Activities!
We wanted to put together fun activities and ideas for Spring sensory-themed play dates. Invite a few friends over, pull out the old sheet, and get ready for some sensory based play this season. These would be great ideas for preschool classroom activities, too. Sensory play is so important for children. There is so much learning that happens when kids get messy and explore textures. They are learning new concepts such as cause and effect while developing language and self-confidence. Sensory play can be based on anything! These Spring-themed sensory play ideas will keep you and the kids occupied and having fun this month while the weather turns. Don’t stress the mess and have fun!
The bloggers below present a fun and sensory-tastic Spring activity that covers each day of the week, and are perfect for creating a Spring playdate that covers all things sensory.
These are the sensory activities you won’t want to miss this Spring:
How to incorporate sensory play into playing outside
Sensory diet activities can be specific to sensory system like these vestibular sensory diet activities. Sensory activities can be prescribed according to need along with environment in order to maximize sensory input within a child’s day such as within the school day. Using authentic sensory input within the child’s environment plays into the whole child that we must understand when focusing on any goal toward improved functional independence.
Many sensory diet activities can naturally be found outdoors. In fact, outdoor sensory diet activities are a fun way to encourage sensory input in a child’s environment and without fancy therapy equipment or tools.
It’s a fact that kids are spending less time playing outdoors. From after-school schedules to two working parents, to unsafe conditions, to increased digital screen time, to less outdoor recess time…kids just get less natural play in the outdoors. Some therapists have connected the dots between less outdoor play and increased sensory struggles and attention difficulties in learning.
Knowing this, it can be powerful to have a list of outdoor sensory diet activities that can be recommended as therapy home programing and family activities that meet underlying needs.
That’s where the Outdoor Sensory Diet Cards and Sensory Challenge Cards come into play.
They are a FREE printable resource that encourages sensory diet strategies in the outdoors. In the printable packet, there are 90 outdoor sensory diet activities, 60 outdoor recess sensory diet activities, 30 blank sensory diet cards, and 6 sensory challenge cards. They can be used based on preference and interest of the child, encouraging motivation and carryover, all while providing much-needed sensory input.
30 blank sensory diet cards, and 6 sensory challenge cards
They can be used based on preference and interest of the child, encouraging motivation and carryover, all while providing much-needed sensory input.
Research tells us that outdoor play improves attention and provides an ideal environment for a calm and alert state, perfect for integration of sensory input.
Outdoor play provides input from all the senses, allows for movement in all planes, and provides a variety of strengthening components including eccentric, concentric, and isometric muscle contractions.
Great tool for parents, teachers, AND therapists!
Be sure to grab the Outdoor Sensory Diet Cards and use them with a child (or adult) with sensory processing needs!
After months of wintery gray skies and freezing temps, we are ready to play with some rainbows and sunshine! It may still be cold and the snow is still out there, but we can play with color to brighten our day! These features from Share It Saturday have colorful ways to learn and play. Look out colors, here we come!

We brought our water table inside one day when the weather was WAY too cold to go outside. There have been a lot of people affected by cold temps this winter and big winter storms have been making this winter feel verrrry long! And cold…really cold! We LOVE creative painting activities and this idea was one of our favorites.
This is a Winter Sensory Bin activity that is motivating and fun for kids because they might not have experienced painting snow before!
So when it’s too cold to go outside, and the kids are going bonkers inside…what do you do? You can only play with the same toys so many times when you’ve been stuck inside for so many snow days. This Watercolor Snow Painting activity was just the thing we needed to get creative and have some winter fun!
We’ve done both indoor snow painting and outdoor snow painting before and both were very fun. For the outdoor version, check out how to paint snow to incorporate more motor skill work.
This watercolor version was just as much fun in a different way!
Painting Watercolors in Snow

We started by pulling our water table
in from the garage and a few bins of snow were all we needed to fill it. A few paint brushes and some watercolors
and we were all set.
This was so much fun. The snow lasted in the house for a couple of hours and as it melted on the edges, we had more water for painting. When Big Sister came home, we brought in a few more bins of snow so she could paint too. This started a whole new round of painting fun.
The colors were so bright and pretty on the snow. AND we were toasty warm!
A few kitchen utensils were brought in for some scooping and serving “snow cones”.
Love this cuteness!
What a fun sensory experience!
Our friend Jaime over at Frogs and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails did some snow painting too. You have to check out what they did when they got some snow. Very fun stuff!

This month is all about Love and today we are talking acts of service for kids! Use these kindness activities to help kids complete service acts for others. The ideas outlined in this post can inspire random acts of service and kindness for kids.
Acts of Service Love Language
Acts of Service” is one of the five love languages identified by Dr. Gary Chapman in his book (Amazon affiliate links) “The Five Love Languages.” It refers to a person’s way of expressing and receiving love through actions and acts of service.
Another great resource for understanding the love languages in general is the version of this book for kids: 5 Love Languages of Kids.
The book is helpful to discover the key to effectively communicating your child’s love language and empowers you to:
Uncover your child’s unique love language.
Foster a supportive environment for successful learning.
Harness the power of love languages for more constructive discipline.
Cultivate a foundation of love for your child. (Co-regulation, anyone?)
These strategies support kids and parents by nurturing the child’s primary love language and helps you build a stronger, more thriving parent-child relationship.
This sounds so great for self-regulation needs in kids, right??
While the books offer tools for each of the love languages of kids and parents, today, we are talking about the acts of service. This is important because helping kids identify acts of service they can do supports empathy and social emotional skills.
We used the concept of a service act to create service ideas for kids using the craft below. First, we talked about service ideas for kids and the power of showing kindness to others as a service act.
Acts of Service are evidence of love shown by servicing others. You know the saying, “actions speak louder than words”?
We show our loved ones love by doing things for them; …Washing the dishes, preparing them meals, finding that missing Teddy Bear at 2 am are ways we show our families love through service.
We came up with ways for children to show their love for friends, family, and random strangers through acts of acts of service and kindness. When a random act of kindness is bestowed, it grows love forward! Not only does the giver feel generous, giving, and significant…but the recipient of that random act of kindness feels special, cherished, and loved.
This kindness craft idea is one kids can make and then use to do acts of service.
Kindness Craft Idea
To keep track of our kindness acts, we created this kindness banner. That way, we could decide on what task to do next. This was such a fun project to do, each step of the way! For kids that love crafts, a kindness craft hits the mark. You may find other crafts for kids that can be expanded into kindness craft ideas, too.
You’ll also want to check out our friendship activities for more ideas to spread kindness through crafts and activities.
I cut small banners from cardstock and glued on a patterned top for a touch of color.
These were taped to a long strand of ribbon and strung on our wall. We put it up at child-height so the kids could see the words of giving on each banner, and mark off the acts of kindness as they were completed.
The kids loved hearing all of the kind acts and deciding who should receive our acts of service.
After a task was completed, we stuck a foam heart sticker on the banner. Our finished banner looked so pretty and makes a great Valentine’s decoration!
The acts of service listed below can help you come up with specific service ideas for kids.
Acts of Service Examples
You’ll find a list of service acts below, and these are great examples for kids to expand on. There are so many ways kids can serve others:
Help family members
Help friends
Support neighbors
Help other classmates in learning needs
Help the homeless
Support the community
Serve the school by donating needed items
Create a food drive for the neighborhood needy
Find a charity and create a fundraiser
Start a service club
Clean up litter
Support a church
Older kids can attend a mission trip through a youth group
All of the types of service ideas can be expanded on. The trick here is to get creative and thoughtful. Select a group or individual that is in need and think of how you can support them.
Random Acts of Kindness for Kids
Use the service ideas below on the kindness banner craft.
Service Ideas
So what are some service activities that would be great for Random Acts of Kindness for Kids? We wanted to come up with a list of service ideas that kids could choose from to serve others with kindness.
Here are some ideas listed below. Use these service ideas to fill your kindness banner:
Collect canned goods for the food bank.
Pick up trash in the neighborhood.
Invite a new friend over for a play date.
Complete household chores without being asked
Send thank you notes to the fire department and police station.
Hold the door for someone.
Bring in a neighbor’s trash cans.
Write kind notes for siblings.
Put out birdseed for the birds.
Bake cookies for a neighbor.
Smile and say “Hello!”
Do the dishes or clean up the kitchen.
Deliver flowers to a neighbor you don’t know that well.
Donate toys or clothes
Give outgrown clothing to a smaller friend.
Donate books to the library.
Leaving kind notes.
Wave hello to a neighbor.
Shovel snow from a neighbor’s walkway.
Bring a treat to school for your teacher.
Draw a picture for the mailman.
Preparing a meal or breakfast in bed for family.
Help prepare and deliver a meal for a family with a new baby.
Tell the trash collector “Thank You!”
Write a note to Grandparents saying why they are special.
Give neighbors some candy chocolate “hugs” and a note saying “hugs from your neighbor!”
Draw a picture for your librarian with a note saying “Thank YOU!”
Bring bubbles to the park and some extras to share with other kids.
Write encouraging messages in chalk on the sidewalk to brighten someone’s day.
Have you done any random acts of kindness or acts of service with your children? What kind of activities have you done? Do you have a blog post to share that focuses on love, kindness, an activity you and your child completed together where love was apparent??
Exploring Books Through Play is an e-book with kindness activities, crafts, and games that teach empathy, kindness, and friendship. These are great activities to use in discussions on acts of service with kids!

Kindergarten Math is new for us. Big Sister is half-way through kindergarten now, and has been learning SO much! Being that she’s our oldest, it’s all new for us, too! We’ve gotten used to the homework and the worksheets that come home each day and can see all of the creative ways her teacher works on learning objectives. This math activity was a little practice for her math homework that we’ve seen in worksheet form.
I created a snowman math theme for her to practice composing and decomposing numbers a lot like what she does on worksheets. This was a hands-on activity for Big Sister to practice counting and putting numbers together and taking them apart to make larger numbers. Plus, it was a fun way to practice the skills she’s been learning!
Snowman Math
Snowman Math Theme for Kindergarteners
This hands-on math activity used just a few materials. We started with Styrofoam egg cartons, cut into sections of three. They made the perfect snowman shape with just a few snips. There’s nothing better than using recycled materials in a craft or activity, and this was no exception!
Once the snowmen were cut from Styrofoam and ready to go, I pulled out our white pom poms. These were received free from www.craftprojectideas.com, and just what we needed to count for our snowman math.
I wrote numbers on the center circle of the snowmen and had the pom poms ready to go for counting when Big Sister came home from school one afternoon. I showed her how the snowmen look like the circles that come home on her math worksheets. Together, we counted out pom poms to make the numbers on each snowman.
Composing Numbers: Kindergarten Math
Now, I am no Kindergarten teacher, but our math practice was a fun way to practice the skills that Big Sister is bringing home from school. We started by composing numbers to make our snowmen. Big Sister has been bringing home a bunch of worksheets where she had to use manipulatives in the classroom to build numbers.
Composing numbers is building numbers and the beginning stages of adding. There are no addition or equal signs introduced yet. Tow handfuls of manipulatives are all that are needed to count the total.
So, when Big Sister composed the numbers to make the number I had written in the snowman, I first had her count out the number of pom poms that she needed. For the snowman with “13” written on it, we counted out 13 white pom poms.
Then, she grabbed two handfuls of those 13 pom poms. She counted how many were in each hand and put one handful in the “head’ section of the snowman…and the other handful in the “bottom” section of the snowman. We were able to compose thirteen in a few different ways by doing the same activity over and over again with those same 13 pom poms.
Decomposing Numbers: Kindergarten Math
Decomposing numbers is just the opposite. We worked on taking apart the numbers and exploring how many ways we could take apart the 13 pom poms. We started with the 13 pom poms in a pile on the table. Big Sister grabbed a handful and put them in one of the circles. She then counted how many were left over. She put the remainder into the other circle of the Styrofoam snowman.
This was such a fun math activity for Big Sister and I! We got to work on “homework” in a fun and creative way and practice a little early math…with a snowman theme!
This post is part of the Project: Recycle & Create series that we are taking part in each month. You may have seen our Cardboard box small world Pretend Zoo post from January’s cardboard theme.
