[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could see my DS loving a sensory bin, but I cannot wrap my head around two things: 1. The mess 2. The waste (of rice or beans or pasta) 3. Mess mess mess mess!!! Okay that was 3. Honestly asking, how do you deal with the mess that it would create INSIDE the house. (I guess I could restrict use of the bin to outside, but then I go back to the wasting food issue too)[/quote] As a preschool teacher, we just put the sensory bin over a noncarpeted floor. Afterwards, sweep up. It takes a few minutes, and generally the kinds of kids who love sensory play, also love sweeping so it's a win/win. I am not a big fan of food in the sensory bin. In a world with so much hunger, I think it sends the wrong lesson. But there are plenty of other things you can put in a bin that work just as well.[/quote]
