Sensory boxes

[cynthia2007]

For those of you that have these for your LO, what is in them? I want to put one together for A.

And how messy are they? Is your LO pretty good about keeping the items in the box or are you picking up things from it everywhere in the house?

We've done a few;

Ice cubes and Jello
Corn and toys
Shaving cream and bath toys
Soap and Milk with food colouring
Rice and toys
Magic Sand

Those are the messy ones but also the favourite ones.

Not really a sensory box, but I did a storage container (like the kind that rolls under the bed) full of rice krispies a while ago. He played in it like a sand box or rice box, but I didn't have to worry about him putting them in his mouth, because it was just cereal. He had fun with it.
