Baby Bins: Butterflies

April 6, 2018

This week we learned all about butterflies and caterpillars with our Butterfly themed baby bins.  We had so much fun exploring sensory bins and creating crafts this week as we learned about these beautiful winged insects.

These butterfly themed sensory bins and activities are great for learning and play and are 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 our 6 animal themed baby bins:

Here are the details for each of our activities:

"The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle is a must read for any butterfly and caterpillar unit with little learners. These Baby Bin plans are perfect for learning with little ones between 12-24 months old.

Butterfly Theme Book:

This week’s book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle is a well loved staple in our book collection so I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to include one of our favorites as the focus read aloud for baby bins. From the adorable caterpillar, to the dye cut pages I’m sure your little ones love this book just as much as we do.

This very hungry caterpillar sensory bin is great for retelling the story and is completely baby safe. These Baby Bin plans are perfect for learning with little ones between 12-24 months old.

Very Hungry Caterpillar Sensory Bin:

In this bin: Black beans, play food, caterpillar toy, mini cups

This stained glass butterfly activity is great for fine motor practice and always turns out adorable. Baby Bins are perfect for learning with little ones between 12-24 months old.

Stained Glass Butterflies:

For our first craft we made pretty stained glass butterflies with dollar store picture frames. I took the paper and cardboard out of the small glass picture frame and used hot glue to attach the glass to the inside of the frame. Then I glued the butterfly outline inside the frame. Aubrey squeezed different colors of glitter glue inside the butterfly outline (with some help from me). Then she added a few drops of food coloring.  Next she used cotton swabs and toothpicks to spread and mix the colors.  After it was dry it looked so pretty in a sunny window.

This butterfly feeding sensory bin is great for exploring science concepts with a butterfly theme and is completely baby safe. These Baby Bin plans are perfect for learning with little ones between 12-24 months old.

Butterfly Feeding Bin:

In this bin: Mini cups, colored water, toy butterflies, flowers, pipettes

This dot stamp butterfly activity is great for fine motor practice and always turns out adorable. Baby Bins are perfect for learning with little ones between 12-24 months old.

Dot Stamp Butterfly:

Dot stampers are a great go to fine motor activity. I love how easy it is to spice up a plain old coloring page with bright beautiful dots. I printed a few of these butterfly outlines and let Aubrey design her own butterflies. Easy Peasy art!

This butterfly play dough tray is a fun way to pretend, build and explore with a butterfly theme while working on fine motor skills. These Baby Bin plans are perfect for learning with little ones between 12-24 months old.

Butterfly Play Dough:

In this bin: play dough, rollers, butterfly/caterpillar cookie cutters, gems, googly eyes, buttons
