scrapbookbuzz Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I suppose this post could also go in the Special Needs forum but I thought even those with kids who don't have special needs might appreciate this! Long story short, some internet surfing last night had be thinking about sensory bins, boxes, and bags. One part even led to themed sensory bins. My kids LOVE mythology and so I asked them both, separately, (they are almost 10 and almost 16) about what they would put in a sensory bin having to do with mythology. Wow, did I get varied answers! I think they only agreed on two things. However, I'm thinking that since this week is a heavy work week for me, I may have them work on Team-Building (working together to put the bin together), Negotiation (agreeing what to put in the bin and what they can leave out), and Accuracy (putting in items related to actual mythology, not that from the Rick Riordin books, eg, a diet Coke for Dionysus) for schoolwork. B) What say the Hive? Anyone else done something like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athomeontheprairie Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I've only heard in sensory bins used with Littles, never with older students. What do your kids suggest? I would love to hear how they use this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwg Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I have only heard of it with youngers but I know my ds11 would prob love it. He still plays with playdough all the time- esp one with a mythology theme! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
