Sensory table basics
Sensory tables or sensory bins are a great way to keep kids excited about playing, while using toys and items you may already have on hand. By rotating out the base material and filler items, it’s like a brand new activity every time you use it!

Small trains (If you’re using nice trains – like motorized ones – be careful what base material you use so you don’t ruin the motors! Maybe just put small trains along with more tools in the table, like measuring tapes and magnifying glasses so kids can investigate the trains. Or grab a cheap pack of trains so your nice ones don’t get ruined by sand in the gears.)
