Baby Bins, Shapes

Baby Bins: Circles

January 19, 2018

Baby bins are the perfect way to introduce your babies and toddlers to shapes in a fun, hands on and engaging way. Before being able to identify each shape, it is so important to build shape vocabulary (circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, sides, corners, etc.) with little ones.

These circle themed sensory bins and activities are great for learning shapes and completely baby safe. Baby Bins are the perfect way to learn, build language, play and explore with little ones between 12-24 months old.

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

Here are the details for each of our activities:

Circles by Yusuke Yonezu is a great book for introducing not only shapes, but also for reviewing colors and numbers. These Baby Bin plans are perfect for learning with little ones between 12-24 months old.

Circle Theme Read Aloud:

Circles by Yusuke Yonezu is a great book for introducing not only shapes, but also for reviewing colors and numbers. The bright and colorful cut out pages are engaging and perfect for little hands to interact with. I love this book for building vocabulary and getting a feel for each shape.

This circle theme water sensory bin is great for learning shapes and is completely baby safe. These Baby Bin plans are perfect for learning with little ones between 12-24 months old.

Circle Themed Sensory Bin:

Included in this bin:
Pouch Lids
Stacking Rings
Plates
Small Pans
Circle Magnets
Circle Puzzle Card
Felt Circles
Circle Flash Cards

This circle stamping activity is great for building fine motor skills and is a completely baby safe way to paint with little ones. Baby Bins are perfect for learning with little ones between 12-24 months old.

Circle Stamping Art:

For this circle art project I first rounded up all of the circle objects I could find. We used a pouch lid, 1/2 of a fillable Easter egg, a toilet paper tube, round brushes, and the top part of a building block. I filled a small tray with colored tempera paint and let Aubrey stamp and explore.

**Aubrey is a painting pro now, so I chose to use our regular tempera paints for bright colors. If you have a baby that still puts everything in their mouth try one of these taste safe paint recipes from Can Do Kiddo.**

This circle button bin is great for building fine motor skills and is completely baby safe. These Baby Bin plans are perfect for learning with little ones between 12-24 months old.

Circle Button Bin:

Our next activity combined threading, stuffing and sorting for all kinds of fine motor fun. I filled our bin with circle shaped buttons, lacing thread and colored bowls with lids. I cut slots in the lids of each bowl large enough for the buttons to be pushed into.  Aubrey used the strings to thread circle button necklaces which required LOTS of concentration.  She also pushed buttons into bowls but wasn’t to into sorting by color.

This circle theme water sensory bin is great for learning shapes and is completely baby safe. These Baby Bin plans are perfect for learning with little ones between 12-24 months old.

Circle Theme Water Bin:

For this activity, I used our large underbed bin, filled it with a few inches of warm water, cut up pool noodles, stacking rings, and stacking cups. This bin was by far the favorite of the week. This girl LOVES to splash, I cannot wait for summer so we can pull our water table back outside.

This circle play dough activity is great for building fine motor skills and is a completely baby safe way to introduce shapes. Baby Bins are perfect for learning with little ones between 12-24 months old.

Circle Play Dough:

  Our last activity was making circles with play dough. I rolled out a few colors of play dough and Aubrey used rollers, cutters, and cups to create circles of varying colors and sizes. Easy peasy!
