@preschoolvibes: I’m a preschool teacher, and I’m ranking my top five most-used sensory bin fillers. These are the ones I come back to over and over because they’re easy to set up, engaging for children, and work with so many different themes. They hold attention, support hands-on exploration, and can be used in multiple ways throughout the year.
I wanted to like pluffle but it gets everywhere and they dont play with it

Plug flex and I have beef due to the fact it gets in the kids shoes and they track it everywhere! I still use it though.

I have fluffle and it creeps me out 😂 and the kids get it everywhere but they do love it. We can’t use sand because of our “new floors” but I love sand! I’m going to use alphabet pasta and black beans for sure! Thank you for the ideas!

Two of the best fillers are cut up straws in small 2 inch pieces its great and so good for kids with sensory aversions it has a great sound and feel. Also cut up beaded necklaces i do 3-4 inch sections cut up it feels great and fun to use with tongs can get wet its amazing almost like beaded spaghetti noodles

Question: do you reuse your filler or toss it because of germs?
