Disney's The Little Mermaid Inspired Sensory Bin

I'd been wanting to try out some floral water beads with the kids and decided they'd be good for sensory bin with a Little Mermaid theme.

 

The package did say that they were not for use by children, so I hesitated. But then I decided to use them and carefully supervise and it all turned out okay.

Here's what I put in this one:

Clear water beads

Blue decorative stones

The Little Mermaid Figures (Ariel, Ursula, Triton, Max - we lost Eric somehow)

Fish (Fisher Price Little People X-ray fish, specifically)

Dinglehoppers (forks!)

A Spyglass

I was surprised that Luke liked this one more than Scarlett. He does like mermaids. He also spent a good amount of time trying to squish the little beads.

 

Overall, this one wasn't as much of a hit as I'd imagined. At least I thought it was pretty!
