I’m excited to share a wonderful ocean creature sensory bin idea. The blue water beads look so inviting, everyone will be wanting a turn in the sensory table. That’s the great thing about sensory bins – kids love them and they offer so many learning opportunities. This month our Mother Goose Time theme is Ocean Commotion so it’s time to switch things up and create an ocean creature sensory bin.
Create an Ocean Creature Sensory Bin
It’s simple to create an ocean creature sensory bin with just a few materials you can conveniently find on Amazon.
Needed Supplies:
- Water Beads
- Ocean World Creatures
- Shells
- Container
Just add water to the beads and watch them grow.
Add Ocean World Creatures and Shells for an instant ocean-themed sensory bin.
Children will love playing with the beads and playing with the ocean creatures. 
Here are a couple tips for keeping your water beads fresh and longer lasting:
- Wash hands before play.
- Rinse beads with warm water and vinegar after play.
- If beads are cloudy or moldy, dispose of them.

You can also add scoops to this sensory bin, but the water beads are a wonderful sensory experience alone.
Enjoy your ocean creature sensory bin!
