Child sits and plays in a large bin of rice for sensory food fun

get started below

We love a super-sized sensory play adventure. With this activity, your little one will have the opportunity to dive right into their play – literally! Sometimes the best way to expose children to new food has nothing to do with tasting. When hands and arms (and even feet!) are deep in play, children will begin to associate food with joy while also expanding their threshold for different tactile sensory experiences.
