This is one of our estates sensory boxes. This one is a older one. Very simple but a lot of fun.
The base of this box is green coloured rice. The rice was coloured with food colouring. How to colour rice for sensory play in tutorials.
What’s we used and where to find them.
we added transparent chickens from poundworld. If your not in the uk or not local to pound shops you can try look for them online. eBay/Amazon would be good places.
moving right from the chickens we have silicon cupcake cases.
Inside the cupcake cases is foam eggs decorated as a bunny and a chick. These where d.i.y easter decoration kits. From b&m but these would be easier to make from starch without a lot.
next foam bunnies. Would not recommend these for a child who likes to mouth things. They come from home and bargains. Around easter you can find so much stuff in cheap shops.
Plastic Easter eggs. These are cheap ad cheerful and can be found everywhere in shops and online around easter.
I added some foam bunny beads from a small craft pack from eBay. I also added some flat back bunnies also from eBay.
you can’t tell very well frm the photo as it’s so old but there are some bunny shaped buttons in the rice at the back. I just stood them up standing in a row. These also come from eBay. I was looking for anything easter bunny themed and brought them all at the same time.
tools in this box and very simple the larger rounder ones are from Amazon. The rake we already had from our sand pit.
The box/tray is from pound streacher it’s a underbed storage box. We find the under bed style boxes perfect fit for sensory boxes and come with lids to make it easier to clean up any mess.
These are three for £10. You can also get smaller boxes two for £5 witch we use with edible sensory play.
ths box is very simple would be perfect for anyone just starting out sensory play. Coloured rice is a all time fav in our house and always goes down well.
ad this is a older sensory box a few years old I only have the one photo. But since it’s so simple to remake I thought I would do a write up anyway.
