Spring Theme Sensory Bins + Table Ideas

If you have a spring theme preschool learning week coming up then you definitely need to check out these spring sensory bins and sensory table ideas. You will find favorite figurines, flowers, fairy garden, trees and insects here as well as different filler ideas. You will also see an example of how to create sensory bins.

Spring Theme

We have just began our first sensory bin challenge in our private Facebook Group. We did a vote for our first theme and it was a spring theme! All entries (who provided a spring sensory bin picture) will be entered into a hat to win an Amazon gift card.

I have created a video below showing you how to make a sensory bin. In the video you will find some sensory bin ideas, sensory bin organization and watch me create a spring theme sensory bin. Make sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel here.

Materials I used in my Sensory Bin:

Insect Toob and little lady bugs.
For the Fine Motor Tools you can use this Tools Set or the Lakeshore Learning Little Hands Fine Motor Tools set.
Fairies from Lakeshore Learning Fairy Garden
Mini Colanders
Bath stacking cups
Small flower pots from Michaels. You can find them here on Amazon. It is better to purchase extra because then you can create a little pot painting activity for your children.
One of the trees came from this set.
Brown play dough or create your own playdoh with the best Playdough recipe

Enhance the preschool learning by adding in more activities. Here are a few activities you can add in that suits the spring theme preschool activities perfectly:

Butterfly life cycle activity pack
Watch a real caterpillar become a butterfly here.
Spring Bugs egg carton craft
Insect 3 part cards
Butterfy yarn spring craft
Ladybug counting play dough mats
How many insects in the jar?
You could add the printable Flower Toob Cards for more learning fun!
Use the insect printable pack and this bugs book to enhance the activities or create an insect theme or spring theme week.

Here are some spring sensory Bin challenge participants finished spring theme preschool sensory bins:

Spring Fairy Garden by Nadia T
This is my spring theme sensory bin idea. I created a little flower garden area using the flower toobs. I added homemade brown playdough inside the pots so that the flowers could stick up within them. I added in random cups, tools and plastic trees that I had at home. My daughter added in fairies because she absolutely adores fairies.
