A big part of sensory bins is the life skills they teach. Life skills is a fancy way of saying “the skills your child will need throughout their life.” Sensory bins teach children skills things like scooping, pouring, and dumping. This is how kids learn spoon skills and transferring skills. It’s where kids learn to pour.
There’s a lot of peace and calm in having children learn to pour liquids in a sensory bin than with orange juice on the kitchen floor. The amount of life skills learned in a sensory bin cannot be overstated.
