Sensory activities are a wonderful way to engage multiple senses, such as touch, sight, hearing, and smell, helping children develop and refine their sensory perception.

Not only that but they help develop a variety of gross motor, fine motor, and creative skills:

• Manipulating objects in sensory bins, like pouring, scooping, and picking up small items, enhances fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

  
  

• Sensory play encourages children to describe their experiences, fostering language development as they use words to express what they see, feel, and hear.

  
  

• Sensory play often involves open-ended play, allowing children to use their imaginations and creativity freely

  
  

• Sensory play can be calming and soothing, helping children regulate their emotions and reduce stress or anxiety.

  
  

• Sensory experiences lay the foundation for more advanced learning, as they help children make connections between the abstract and concrete concepts.

While there are other sensory bin tables on the market, this set has everything you need for art projects, sensory play, building and storage.

We especially love that:

• There's two bins for different sorting activities or sensory mediums (warm and cold, land and water, dirty and clean, etc).

  
  

• Young children can work standing or sitting, great for developing balance and core strength. Older children (ages 5-6+) will find it more comfortable to sit on the stool while working.

  
  

• It's perfect for storage of art materials, blocks, loose parts, or lego when you're not using the bins for sensory play.
