For my food-themed sensory bin I got this “Ice Cream Treats” kinetic sand pack. I got one years ago and had the hardest time keeping kids from mixing the colors/scents/flavors! This year I got the refill sand pack and let kids choose which one flavor ice cream the wanted to play with each session – …
For my food-themed prizes I got these food erasers. You can find the rest of my themed prizes here.
Who doesn’t love a spinner?! It reminds me of the episode of “The Office” where Pam makes a spinner for the office chores, then has to make a whole game out of it (but sneaks a tiny chore spinner into the game). Best of all: it’s disinfect-able (which is important to me when I have …

For my magic-themed sensory bin I bought an off-brand kinetic sand (which I don’t recommend because the glitter came out – I recommend the official Kinetic Sand brand glitter sand, instead) and added these plastic gems and these fairy minis. I then added the magic minis I already had, including Llama Hatchimals, unicorns, and dragons. …
