Then, laminate the cards so your kids can reuse this activity and cut them apart.

To set-up the sensory bin, fill a plastic container with sand. I love to use Kinetic sand because it is sensory-friendly and less messy then regular sand.

Next, use the paint pen to write a letter of the alphabet on each stone.

After the paint dries, put the stones and construction truck toys in the container. 

How To Use The Construction Alphabet Sensory Bin:

To begin playing, your kids will select a construction kid letter card and identify the letter on it.

They will then dig through the sand in the sensory bin to find the stone that has the same letter. 

If your kids are just starting to learn their ABC’s, have them work on just a few letters and then add letters every time your do this activity.

If your children know many or all of the letters already, you can mix the lowercase and capital letters together.

You can also have them practice spelling sight words or spelling words.

It’s easy to differentiate this activity depending on your children’s letter knowledge.

This Construction Alphabet Sensory Bin is an engaging, hands-on letter recognition activity and fun way to add more sensory play into your day.
