I’ve been doing sensory boxes with J since he was 14 months old. I usually do a new box a week and he’s now 25 months old, so I have done a LOT of sensory boxes. I have whittled them down and have picked a “few” of my favorites.
Don’t know why sensory boxes are such a great learning tool? Check out my Sensory Trays: Why, How, and Where? post.
Ok, let’s get to it…shall we?

Leaves and Feathers
Sand

Your welcome! Thank you for reading!
We love sensory bins. I loved your holiday and themed ones. I’ve got to get a bit more creative with them. You’ve given me some great idea.

Oh wow! Thrilled to have found your site and see that you started your son very young. I’ve been wanting to do this with my toddler, but worried he was too little. Will take your thoughts/advice to heart!

Love your ideas! I am a daycare teacher of one year olds and love all the suggestions!! They LOVE sensory!!
What a great list of ideas for sensory boxes. I really like how simple yours are with just a few added items. That’s how I like to do them for my buddies, too. I think it encourages them to explore the sensory material more. I’m pinning this to my Teach and Learn board!
Hello! My name is Miriam and I am a speech-language pathologist in Dubuque, IA (http://www.unifiedtherapy.com/). I am a SOS-trained feeding therapist (http://www.sosapproach-conferences.com/) and have been asked to present on feeding interventions for local parents, community members, etc. I googled some pictures of “messy play” to try and include hypothetical “cases” in my presentation (i.e., pictures and stories representing the kinds of kids that may benefit from feeding intervention). I was wondering if you would mind me using some of the images from your site. I would include your site address on the powerpoint as a reference. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to your response! ~ Miriam Lind, MA, CCC/SLP miriam@unifiedtherapy.com
Do you have any boxes for dealing with a strong sense of smell? And for older kids? Thanks!
