Exploring “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” Sensory Bin👩🦱🐻
First up on our enchanting journey is a sensory bin inspired by the classic tale of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears.” A cozy arrangement of oats, a 3D puzzle depicting Goldilocks, and the quaint bear family’s house, along with a plethora of manipulatives awaiting discovery. Goldilocks and the Three Bears 3D house was an adorable addition to our sensory bin. The students loved putting the furniture pieces together and creating a story of whose bowl, chair, and bed belonged to which character!
As little fingers sifted through the oats, they stumbled upon miniature treasures, from tiny bowls to itty-bitty chairs, just like the ones Goldilocks encountered on her adventure. I included some Dollar Tree doll furniture to provide some extra pieces for their little minds to create a tale. Children can recreate scenes from the story with each object, fostering creativity and narrative skills. It’s a hands-on way to relive this timeless tale!
A hint of STEM was also part of our sensory bin. I added pieces from a Goldilocks and the Three Bears Problem Solving STEM Kit to provide and building component. The wood pieces and posts could be put together to make chairs or beds for the timeless characters.
Magical Sensory Table: Castle of Dreams🏰
Next on our magical itinerary is a sensory table fit for royalty! Behold, the Castle of Dreams, complete with magnet tiles adorned with enchanting fairy tale characters like unicorns, dragons, and gallant horses. As children piece together the castle, they’ll embark on epic quests and noble adventures.
With magnetic tiles, the possibilities are endless. Build towering turrets, secret passageways, and majestic chambers fit for a king or queen. Watch as stories unfold before your eyes, fueled by the boundless imagination of young minds. It’s a captivating journey through lands of myth and legend!
I added a touch of lentils for a pop of green color and gem pieces to the base of my sensory table. The gem pieces were used to put inside the castle and collected by the little princesses. The Cinderella puzzle was a great piece to enhance
