Sensory Play can be so much fun. It can be messy too, but if you are brave enough to do it, it can be so rewarding! Your kids will spend hours happily playing and learning in the process. We love to do themed unit studies and themed activities around the holidays. 

Here are some really fun Valentine’s Day Themed Sensory Bins and Sensory Ideas that you can do with your kids at home. Most of these items you can pick up at a dollar store!
