Pirate Sensory Bin

In honor of our Pirate theme, I made the them a Pirate Sensory Bin…

I filled it with black pom poms, black marbles, black jewels, and black rocks. Threw in many pirate coins and eye patches, & the little pirate toys we have. I need to add our beaded necklaces, I totally forgot about those! I purposely didn’t put rice or anything teeny-tiny in it, so the kiddos could clean it up easily.

It has already received much love…

My little pirate was THRILLED and has been waiting for pirate week for a long time now!

All of our other pirate toys are in the schoolroom right now for pirate week, so they join in on the sensory bin fun too!

A bit of info about where the contents of the bin came from:

From Nana: pirate hat, sword, treasure box, shiny gold coins, eye patches-no clue where she got any of it!
Target: mini pirate snack container {got awhile back in the 1$ section}
Oriental Trading: pirate coins {IN-42/4011}
Michaels: black pom poms, black marbles & jewels, shiny rocks
Pirates Toob
Playmobil Pirate Captain
Veggie Tales Pirate Ship

Here’s a couple more Pirate Sensory Bins I found online…
