Five Little Ducks Sensory Bin Play for Toddlers

Number and counting songs are one of the best ways you can get your toddlers counting and starting with number sense.

One of our favourites that helps them count backward is the Nursery Rhyme 5 Little Ducks Went Swimming One Day.

This sensory bin is quick to make and your toddler can then use it to retell the rhyme and play with the ducks in their own pond.

So here we go a Five Little Ducks Sensory Bin for Toddlers.

Duck Pond Sensory Bin for Toddlers

There are lots of sensory bin fillers that you could use to recreate the duck pond in this nursery rhyme sensory bin.

Coloured Rice would work really well or jelly as we used in our taste safe Ocean Small World Play.

However, for this one, we set it up using our homemade playdough recipe and chocolate playdough recipe.

Mix up a batch of the easy playdough and then colour it green, blue, yellow, orange and leave some plain.

You can add in some toy ducks or let your little one create their own using the playdough.

A plastic storage bin makes an ideal container to set up your sensory tub and allows your toddler to play with it repeatedly until you switch themes.

But only four little ducks came back.

We love singing the rhyme, reading the book, using the simple puppets to count and sing the rhyme and then using the sensory bin for some play.
