Patriotic Sensory Rice With Stars
Price range: $6.00 through $11.00A sensory bin is a tub or container that is filled with items that spark curiosity, prompt imaginative play, and stimulate a child's senses. Many sensory kits have different themes like dinosaurs or farms, while others are holiday themed. Sensory bins usually have a base filler for kids to scoop or pour — beans, dry corn, play sand, water, moon sand, uncooked pasta, or rice. A 4th of July version uses a red, white, and blue theme to make the holiday festive and interactive for young children. Simplyfullofdelight
Think dyed rice, sparkly stars, tiny flags, and scoops for endless exploring. It's just the right mix of educational and exciting, making it a summer must-have for preschool plans. For a more elaborate setup, use colored rice in red, white, and blue, add glow-in-the-dark plastic stars and a clothespin to practice fine motor skills and counting. You can also dye rice by dividing it into three equal parts, adding red food coloring and vinegar to one bag, blue food coloring and vinegar to another, and leaving the third part white.

There are simple, easy-to-set-up patriotic activities that work great for toddlers. Make a giant ice block tower filled with fun patriotic items — the challenge and fun is melting it and the subsequent water play. Patriotic-themed cookie cutters make for a classic baking soda science activity. You can also make a LEGO flag or enjoy a patriotic sensory bin. Little Bins for Little Hands
For arts and crafts integration, there are several ways to incorporate patriotic crafts into holiday sensory bins: try star stamping, include red, white, and blue playdough, make a mini flag creation, red, white, and blue gem sorting, weave beads on pipe cleaners to make bracelets, or form stars, fireworks, or flags with pipe cleaners.
