Is it spring yet? This Bugs in the Grass Spring Play Bin is fun, fine motor and sensory play for little ones. Coloring sorting cups, tongs, little creepy crawly bugs in the grass make it fun to explore and learn.
Make a Bugs in the Grass Spring Play Bin
Needed:
- IKEA Trofast bin
- Learning Resources Bug Counters (Set of 72)
- Bug cups from Dollar Tree
- Grass Mat “Hopping Spot” from Hobby Lobby {Easter clearance} See links below for additional resources from Amazon
- Tongs: Bed Bugs game at thrift store {4 colored tongs in the box!} Or find on Amazon – see link below.
Directions:
Put grass mat in the bottom of bin. Sprinkle bugs over the grass. Provide colored cups and tongs or tweezers for the bugs and sorting them.
Sorting, playing, matching, fine motor skill development, imaginative play, fun! See the red caterpillar?
How many yellow bugs? Which ones can fly?
I spy a green spider.
