This year during our homeschool preschool and pre-kindergarten, I thought I would try out some sensory bins. We made it to the end of the alphabet. Even though some of the letters were hard to come up objects for, I still enjoyed doing these sensory bins.

During our twenty sixth week, we worked on learning about the letter “Z.” To find items for our Letter Z Sensory Bin I raided the girls’ toys, my craft supplies, the pantry, and our school supplies.

Letter Z Sensory Bin was a lot of fun. 🙂 I have included the Amazon links to the specific products I used or noted next to them where I got the items.

The girls loved exploring their Letter Z Sensory Bin. They used their hands to dig around and find the toys, the fine motor tool set to scoop, grab, and pinch up each item. They also counted the different kinds of items, counted the total number of items in the bin, and tried stacking the items.

The first time the girls started exploring their letter “Z” sensory bin, I read Zella, Zack, and Zodiac from our Tot School Letter Z Books list. During the rest of the week, we listen to music genres or instruments that begin with the letter “Z”.

Be sure to stop by my Homeschool Sensory Exploration page where I link all of our sensory bins. And if you are looking for more homeschool activities, make sure you check out my Homeschool page which contains links to our book lists, crafts, and math & science.

Have you ever tried a letter Z themed sensory bins with your kids?

Have a great day!
