To make this I Spy sensory bin, I used dry black beans (one bag) and various items from around the house. For my reading kids, I made a list of items for them to find so this also becomes an opportunity to practice their reading. For my non-readers, I included a sheet of visual cues for them to search for the items (as my artistic skills are lacking, I will not be including a picture of that sheet!).

As I used things we already had, the entire bin cost just over $1 as I was able to pick up the bag of black beans on sale. This was a simple, inexpensive and versatile sensory bin and the kids loved it!

    Hi Sharla, Thanks for sharing this fun idea! It reminds me of wending my way through intricate living room size I-Spy creations our family made… complete with 3×5 card clues for visiting friends! From a veteran homeschool mom of six, congratulations on your houseful of blessings. Am re-posting this link and the link to your resource ideas for sensory needs to https://www.facebook.com/BransonAcademy/

    Love sharing awesome ideas for homeschool families. Thanks so much! ~Cynthia
