Several years ago before I knew anything about sensory bins, I picked up a water table at a garage sale. Then in the winter when the kids could not get out to the sand box, I filled the water table with something like rice or beans and set it up in the house.
Three kids later and less space, I don’t always set up the big water table, but rather do a few different little ones throughout the winter.
I am sharing the one we have set up right now at Life of a Homeschool Mom today. Not only is it fun and entertaining, but it has the added benefit of working on fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
