This Lucky Charms Sensory Bin for kids is so much fun and edible too! It literally takes mere minutes to put together for what could potentially be hours of fun for little hands. My 10-year-old loves this as well so it isn’t just for ‘little’ kids. If you need another idea for little kids I have a great Learning Letters Bottle cap game. It helped SO much with my youngest.
The Lucky Charms Sensory Bin is a great way to teach sorting and fine motor skills with the tongs or ‘pinchers’ as my kids call them. They can help with finger placement and grip for when they start holding pencils.

February 19, 2018 at 4:23 pmHow fun! My 5 and 3 yr old would absolutely love this. My daughter is particularly into sorting. We are supposed to get rain all week, so it will probably be needed!

February 19, 2018 at 7:37 pmI think my child would just eat them rather than sort them, lol! It is a great idea though!
