Baby Bins: Pink

November 10, 2017

I have to admit when we started doing color themed bins I couldn’t wait for it to be PINK week.  I’m pretty girly already but with 2 little girls that love all things pink and sparkly, there’s pretty much always an explosion of PINK in our house. So get ready for PINK overload this week with our baby bin theme.
**This post contains affiliate links for your convenience. View our full disclosure policy here.**

Here is a look at what we have planned for our next 6 color themed baby bins:

Here are the details for each of our activities:

Pink Read Aloud:
If Everything Were Pink by Hannah Eliot is a silly book celebrating all the shades of pink from ballet pink, to rose pink and everything in between. The illustrations had my girls cracking up and learning new vocabulary at the same time with the labeled items on each page.
Pink Sensory Bin:
Ball Pit Balls
Necklaces & Bracelets
Toy Cars
Princesses & Friends (Aurora, Glinda, Skye, etc)
Piggies
Play Food (cupcakes, watermelon, donuts, ice cream, etc.)
Pink Puzzle Card
Pink Flashcards
Play ideas for this bin:
1. Put together a pink heart puzzle card.
2. Find all of the princesses.
3. Find all of the jewelry and play dress up.
4. Find all of the animals.
5. Find all of the food, and feed it to the piggies.
6. Roll, toss, kick and play with the balls.
Pink Heart Threading:
To prep this fun fine motor bin, I started with a bunch of pink felt and foam hearts. Next, I punched a hole in the center of the foam hearts with a regular hole punch and cut a slit in the felt hearts with scissors. Then, I added a few pink paper straws and pipe cleaners. Aubrey needed no direction, she knew just what to do and got bust poking the hearts and threading them on the straws and pipe cleaners. This was a perfect quiet activity and is now in a zipper pouch in our diaper bag for future use at restaurants and doctors offices to tame the emerging toddler crazy.
Pink Heart Stamping:
For this baby safe painting activity, I made yogurt paint by mixing plain greek yogurt with magenta food coloring.  I wanted the color nice and dark since I was having aubrey paint on pink paper too so I added lots of food coloring, but if you don’t want it to stain your little ones hands feel free to add just a little!
After the paint was all mixed up I put a few scoops in a plastic dish with sponges that I cut into heart shapes.  I demonstrated the process of dipping and stamping, then Aubrey took over squishing and stamping hearts all over the page. Of course in the end the entire page ended up covered in pink, but  this paint isn’t really made to be stored anyways, so plan to toss the pages after admiring your little one’s work.
Pink Bubble Sensory Bin:
Aubrey LOVES water play, so this week I created a pink bubble bin with water, a drop of pink food coloring, and lots of dish soap.  I put the dish soap and food coloring in our bin first then ran warm water into bin to fill it up and make bubbles at the same time.
I added in a few pink silicone cupcake liners, bowls, cups and whisks for mixing, pouring an pretending.
Pink Color Collage:
At the end of each color week we are making a color collage that I will put together in a book for Aubrey to flip through.
To make the pink book page, I first cut out a large rectangle from the center of 2 pieces of pink cardstock. Then I cut two pieces of contact paper that were slightly bigger than the pink rectangles.
  I took the backing off of one piece of contact paper and stuck one rectangle on it.  Then I gave Aubrey a tray full of pink pictures, stickers, sequins, and feathers to create a pink collage.
After she was finished, I glued the second pnk rectangle on top of the first and pressed the remaining piece of contact paper over the top to seal the collage inside. Next, I trimmed the excess contact paper around the rectangle.  I hole punched the top corner and added it to a small metal ring with our red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple collage pages to form a unique color flip book.

  • Sending these cuties off to the ❄️Daddy Daughter Winter Ball ❄️
  • So I’m totally the mom that gets super excited to send something adorable and festive for school parties🙋🏼‍♀️ #sorrynotsorry 
But my daughter’s school only allows store bought prepackaged treats😩 (i totally get it with food allergies and things it’s so much easier to manage!) But that meant I had to get creative.

I signed up to send in juice boxes and decided to dress them up with a little glue, paper, googly eyes and pipe cleaners.

Check out a step by step tutorial in my stories today☝🏻 I’ll try to post directions on the blog ASAP.

Does your school allow Halloween parties? Would you like to see more easy ways to dress up store bought treats for school parties?
  • Had the best day celebrating our sweet Arabella. Thanks to everyone who came to make it a special day for her 💗 #ourarabellabrooke
  • Just one more week until our sweet girl is one. My cousin took the cutest cake 🎂 smash pics today and I cannot wait to see the rest! #ourarabellabrooke 📸: @littlebearphoto45
  • What’s your favorite sensory bin filler? Aubrey LOVES cloud dough so today she had a blast playing in this 🎃 pumpkin themed cloud dough bin.

I love that it’s super simple to make and we usually have everything we need in hand in the pantry🙌🏻. But if I’m being honest I don’t love the mess. I’ve shared this before in my stories but I LOVE these splat mats I found on Amazon. We now own 4 of them😳 I usually use one to cover the table and one (or more) to cover the floor.

They seriously make clean up a breeze and help me let it go ❄️ when I see piles of cloud dough dropping on the floor.
  • Took these cute pumpkins to the pumpkin patch today🎃 It sure was freezing but we did all the fun fall things, and didn’t even have to bribe the kids to leave since they were frozen.🥶🙌🏻
  • Can’t even tell these cuties are freezing their butts off to dance this morning😍 Love them!
  • Arabella’s exploring color mixing today for our #mpkbabybins 💜purple 💜 theme. Our mornings can be a little crazy with all 3 girls, but I try to squeeze in a baby bin activity for Arabella most days between school drop off and nap. So I LOVE  an easy mess free activity like this one.

I first drew some grapes with a sharpie, then squirted some pink and blue paint in a @ziploc bag and she went to town smushing and squishing away. 
Then I just toss the mess and she’s off to nap🙌🏻
