Easter Egg Water Sensory Play

A simple & quick sensory bin for Easter. I used:

• warm, colored water (with food coloring)
• plastic Easter eggs
• large glass marble gems (those flat pebble looking things!)

My varied age group – from 10 years – 14 months (with supervision of course) all enjoyed it!

About this sensory play:

• water is always inviting!
• color draws interest
• eggs float or sink depending on if there’s water in them
• water will drain from the holes in the egg
• marbles can be used to fill the eggs – shaking creates sound
• eggs offer fine motor fun when they are opened & closed
• eye hand coordination development when little ones try to “catch the egg” as it floats
• sensory experience involves the senses of touch, sight & hearing -the soothing sounds of water & socializing (sometimes taste too, with the little ones, although that’s discouraged!)
• allows for group play

Wash hands before and after sensory play. Supervise always when water and small objects are used. A small use of food coloring does not stain hands.
