This hands-on sensory bin provides the opportunity for kids to engage their visual, tactile, and proprioceptive sensory systems. 

Because of the bunnies, this sensory bin could also be set out at Easter time. Or it could correlate with a literature study or nutrition unit.

Ways to expand this activity:

  1. Read one of the Peter Rabbit books aloud to your child while they are playing in the bin. 
  2. Watch one of the movies together.
  3. Create a Peter Rabbit Playdough Invitation to Play.
  4. Set out real fruits and vegetables for your child to snack on while they play.
  5. Suggest that your child recreate a scene from the books or movies in their play. 
  6. For older kids, you can create an entire Peter Rabbit unit study and use these free printable worksheets to go along with it. 
  7. Play a Peter Rabbit I Spy game.
