We love this easy DIY sensory bags and bins with white beans, because they are great for sensory toddler activities at home! Got some white beans? You can prepare a delicious bean soup and then take out a few and do some pretty cool things with and for your little one!

These sensory bags can be transformed to sensory bin in a minute! And they are a great solution for everyone, who is wondering how to make homeschooling more fun? Try out these 5 white beans sensory activities at home! Set them up as a sensory bag or sensory bin and let your toddler and preschooler practice counting, measuring, sorting, logic, addition and subtraction. Each child learns differently, but one thing is for sure, if learning is fun – they will remember it longer, so unschool at your homeschool and hands-on learning on!

White Beans provide not only more bioavailable iron than red beans, they are also are great for all kinds of fine motor and sensory activities.

The best thing about them – they are so versatile! From honey bees through piggies to baby sharks, you and your child can paint the white beans in anything you desire!

And it so easy to create them!

MATERIALS

What you need is:

Few dry white beans
Nail polish in different colours
Permanent Marker – black.
A clear resealable plastic ziploc bag.
Filling: Water, for sensory bins – white or brown rice or pasta.

TOOLS

Disposable gloves. I use for example simple latex gloves.
Tape.

INSTRUCTIONS

Put the gloves on and place the beans on a sheet of paper or paper towel in front of you.
Paint the one side of a bean with the nail polish and wait until dry.
Afterwards, draw the animal or whatever you like.
That’s it! Your beans are ready to go!

Hi there, I'm Iva! I'm sharing here my experience of being a mom. Make your life easier with an easy daily toddler routine. Create your own daily toddler schedule with fun, educational toddler activities, easy toddler meal ideas and practical things to do with your toddler. We have some of the best ideas for fun, easy and no-prep toddler activities, toddler play and games, so you can have fun with your little one every day. You can choose the best activities for your family and share your own playtime ideas. We love to play with our little one every minute we have free and to turn everything into a game. As parents, we all have a limited amount of time and energy. We might be busy, be constantly tired, annoyed or even burnt out. That’s life sometimes when you are an adult. Becoming a parent gives us a second chance for a brand new life. It gives us the opportunity to make the greatest gift to a human, that we could ever give – a truly magnificent childhood. Let’s take this opportunity and play! Happy Playing!
