It was just as difficult to find weather-themed sensory bin items as it was to find ones for “holidays”! I’m sticking with “rainbows” a lot so I got these rainbow-colored plastic rocks and added them to these clear iridescent plastic rocks. I added these rainbow people, which are extremely handy when helping kids replay moments …
