STEP 2: Create the base of your sensory bin
Once everything is organised, take your bin and add the artificial grass taking the time to spread the grass out evenly.
From there, place the flowers on top of the grass but leaving a bit of space between them to avoid making the bin too cluttered.
STEP 3: Add our little friends!
To bring this spring garden to life, just add your butterflies, the bird and the dragonflies around the bin... and you're done!
Invite your little ones to play with it. You could use this activity as an opportunity to teach them some facts about nature!
You could also bring in a bit of number work by counting how many flowers, butterflies and birds you have.
