Make sure to scroll down to find other fun water table activities, too! Our toddlers and preschoolers love the water table. Well, they love everything that involves water! So, it’s only natural that I take what they love and use it to teach concepts. This color sorting water bin is full of water fun, with some learning taking place, too! And this is a pretty cheap activity to put together! (We teachers like that. I know parents do, too!) Just like our fine motor water squeezing activity, I added tools to strengthen the hands and fingers. And, just like our rubber duck sensory play tub, there’s lots of pouring going on.
How to Create a Color Sorting Sensory Bin
Here are 23 more fun water table activities! Toddlers will use both hands to open and close the bug tongs. It takes great concentration to transfer the cubes to the cups!
Plastic reusable ice cubes in different colors* Plastic cups in colors that match the cubes* Bug tongs Some sort of container to hold the water
(*I found our ice cubes and cups at our local dollar store. Score!) Add materials. (I added a couple of funnels for extra fun. The toy colander just sort of “landed” in there. Funny how that happens!) Preschoolers learn how to operate them with one hand. This mimics scissors! Let the color sorting begin! Want to see snippets of our classroom? Watch my Instagram stories! For those of you at home, try this activity in the bath tub and let me know how it goes!
