DIY Edible Valentines Jell-O Sensory Bin
A great way to make a sensory bin is using Jell-O! Kids love to play with it, it’s easy to find, and you can even make it together the night before for an added activity!
I like to spend the week doing Valentine-themed activities for Valentine’s day, similar to what I would do when I taught at a preschool.
This allows you to do lots of activities with your little one and spend time exploring a topic together.
This is how I made our Jell-o Valentine’s sensory bin!
Materials:
- Plain Jell-O
- Food Coloring
- Teething toys
- Heart molds
- Strawberry puree
Step One, Blend up strawberries and breast milk or formula. If your baby is over a year, you can use regular milk. Pour the puree into the heart molds and place it into the freezer.
Step Two, make the Jell-O and add food coloring to get the color of your choice.
Step Three, Pour your Jell-O into the bin along with your teething toys. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Step four, once jello is done before the sensory bin is ready to be played with, you need to shred the Jell-O. Use a fork to shred the Jell-O.
Step Five, pop hearts out of the mold and place them into the bin with Jell-O.
Step Six, ready to play!
