Kansas Day Sensory Bin

Kansas Day is a fun way to introduce your toddler or preschooler to what state they live in.  I have always loved sunflowers, so wanted to do a sensory bin that incorporated the beloved flower.  This set up was easy, and kept my three kids (ages 4 and 2) entertained for an hour.  Can do indoors or outdoors.  

The following are items that you need for the sensory bin:

• Fake Sunflowers
• Green Stones
• Sunflower Seeds
• Split Peas
• Fake Leaves

The tools we used were:

• Funnels
• Tongs
• Measuring Cups & Spoons
• Strainer

We added a STEM element by discussing which items floated and which sunk to the bottom.  Happy playing!
