Baby Bins: Earth Day

April 13, 2018

This week we learned all about our Earth and ways that we can take care of it with our Earth Day themed baby bins.  We had so much fun exploring sensory bins and creating crafts this week as we learned about our special planet.

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 second set of 6 seasonal themed baby bins:

Here are the details for each of our activities:

"This is Our World" by Emily Sollinger is a great simple book about taking care of our Earth, this book also include a fun puzzle for little ones to complete. These Baby Bin plans are perfect for learning with little ones between 12-24 months old.

Earth Day Theme Read Aloud:

This week’s book was This is Our World by Emily Sollinger.  Besides just being a great simple book about taking car of our Earth, this book also include a fun puzzle for little ones to complete.

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

Land and Water Sensory Bin:

In this bin: blue water beads, craft foam continents

To create our continents I traced each continent on a piece of craft foam, then cut each one out. **Remember water beads are NOT taste safe, so if your littles are likely to take a bite, try using tapioca pearls instead or making blue jello jigglers in ice cube trays

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

Earth Play Dough Mats:

In this sensory bin: play dough and laminated Earth outline

This Earth paint in a bag activity is great for fine motor practice and a fun mess free way to paint. Baby Bins are perfect for learning with little ones between 12-24 months old.

Earth Paint in a Bag:

  For this baby safe painting activity, I printed an Earth outline and trimmed it to fit inside a ziplock bag. Next, I added a few drops of blue and green paint. Then, I sealed it up for some fun no mess and no stress painting. Aubrey used her fingers to smush the paint around and mix it together to cover the entire Earth.

This recycling sort sensory bin is great for practicing sorting with an Earth Day theme and is completely baby safe. These Baby Bin plans are perfect for learning with little ones between 12-24 months old.

Recycle Sort Sensory Bin:

In this bin:  black beans, recyclable printables, trash and recycling labels, small bowls

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

Stained Glass Earth:

Our craft this week was another stained glass craft. First I cut out 2 circle outlines from black construction paper. Then I stuck one circle on contact paper and Aubrey filled it in with green and blue tissue paper squares. When she finished I glued the second circle on top. Then we sealed it with another sheet of contact paper and displayed in a sunny window 🙂
