Easy Sensory Fun: Water Beads in Shaving Cream Sensory Bin
Messy, messy sensory is great fun by mixing two of our favorite sensory play together: water beads and shaving cream!
My girls just love having sensory bins. We always have a sensory bin up to play in. After the last water bead sensory bin, I took the beads and added it to shaving cream to have some fun!
The Water Beads in Shaving Cream Sensory Bin is a great addition to the sensory bins on the site.
What is a sensory bin?
A sensory bin is typically a plastic tub or container filled with carefully selected materials and objects to stimulate the senses of children in preschool.
Sensory bins might have rice, water beads, corn, beans, or other types filled with small items.

Ways to Use the Water Beads in Shaving Cream Sensory Bin
After having some rain we had a nice day and took our sensory play outside! My youngest had a ton of fun playing with this sensory bin. She took her time digging in.
She had so much fun mixing up the beads and the shaving cream. There were two different sizes of beads and colors. It was fun to see them mix into the white shaving cream.
She loved to gather as much shaving cream and water beads that she could in her hands and slowly drop it back into the bin. It was fun to see how it landed in the bin.
One activity that my youngest loves is to close her eyes and just feel around in the bin. She enjoys the sensations of exploring with her hands only.
Sensory play can be fun and relaxing for kids! They can have loads of smiles and we can just relax and enjoy their smiles.
