CLICK HERE to find summer fine motor play ideas! Ah, summer. During our last couple of weeks of school, we all have summer on our mind. After all, we are having fun with our ocean theme, complete with a beach day. This year we actually had summer weather, too! Bonus! So, when I put together our fun summer sensory bin, I wanted bright, happy, sparkly fun. They loved it. Because it contained shiny stuff. Oh, how our preschoolers love anything shiny! And it included containers with lids. Remember our St. Patrick’s Day sensory bin? Yep, same love. They filled those containers to the top and snapped on the lid. Then, opened the lid and dumped everything out. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Who can resist taking big scoops and slowly sifting it through your fingers?

I also think about textures. And dump. But of course! This might be the most favorite part. If you have a child who likes to dump anything, being able to redirect him to an activity like this works wonders. And that’s it! It really is that simple!
