Hey Mindful Play Family! We know you and your little ones are excited for each new arts and crafts activity we create. Today, we're here to assist your creative endeavors by discussing some staple items for our arts and crafts activities. We decided to go over five of our most used items, plus a surprise at the end!

Sensory Bin

Essential Items for Creative Play

Sensory Bin

Our first item on today's list is none other than our sensory bin! If you’re new to sensory play, you might be wondering what a sensory bin is. Thankfully, it’s exactly what the name implies. It’s a regular bin used for stimulating exciting activities for children of all ages, personalities, and backgrounds. Our sensory bin is a staple item in our sensory activities, whether it’s our Diversity, Farm, or Ocean creations!

Glue

We can’t forget about glue and its magical ability to turn basic buttons into eyes and yarn into hair. The second item on our list is one of our most versatile materials. It’s easy to find an activity with glue, making crafting with your kiddos a breeze. With a brush, you can ensure you don’t get your hands too sticky while making our Nature Collage and Lady Bug Crafts!

Cotton Balls

Our third most popular item is actually a plant, or more accurately, a shrub; you guessed it, cotton! Cotton balls aren’t just great for removing makeup; they’re also perfect for our Circus Clown Craft activity! One way to keep the laughs rolling is with this fun project for kids of all ages.

Creating together fosters connections and nurtures creativity. It’s a wonderful way to bond and share joyful moments. Remember, each craft is not just about the end product; it’s about the laughter and learning that happens along the way.
