How to Set Up a Birdseed Sensory Bin

Step 1: Add the birdseed
Start by gathering all the supplies needed to make your birdseed sensory bin. Having everything within reach makes setup quick and keeps curious hands from wandering off mid-pour. Add the birdseed to your container, spreading it out evenly across the bottom.
Next, place the plastic leaves, acorns, and birds right on top of the birdseed. There’s no right or wrong arrangement here. A little randomness actually makes the bin more fun to explore. Finish by adding the cups, scoops, and tweezers to the bin so kids can start scooping, pouring, and picking right away. And that’s it. Set it down and enjoy watching the play unfold.
All done!
Your sensory bin is ready for play!
