When my children were in preschool I made an effort to engage them in as much sensory play as I could. I regularly created new sensory bins and we made oobleck and play dough and flubber on a regular basis.

Sensory play is crucial for children’s brain development. It develops fine motor skills, language skills, and creativity. Sensory play promotes independent play and scientific thinking. The benefits of sensory play are virtually limitless!

If you are planning an apple unit, these apple sensory play ideas are sure to foster some creative sensory play for your children.

Note: For more apple activities, see my Apple Unit Study page.

Sensory bins can be simple or elaborate. The only criteria for a good sensory bin is that it engages children in sensory-rich play. Check out these fun and creative apple-themed sensory bins using a variety of different materials.
