Turkey Alphabet Sensory Bin

Your preschoolers and kindergarteners will have fun learning the ABC’s this Thanksgiving with this Turkey Alphabet Sensory Bin! 

It will engage and entertain your pre-readers as they practice identifying and matching capital and lowercase letters. 

This interactive sensory play activity can be used independently or in a small group. It’s perfect for classrooms, homeschools, or child care centers!

Sensory bins encourage your young children to use their senses as they play, explore, experiment, and learn.

You can create yours by filling a container or tub with different materials such as water beads, sand, or shredded paper that allow your kids to use their senses of touch, smell, taste, and sight.

Like this sensory bin, you can also incorporate other concepts that your kids are learning such as letter recognition and pre-reading skills.

They can also cover the letter with a small manipulative such as a mini eraser, pom pom, or snap cube. 

Your children will continue to pull the turkey cards out of the sensory bin, identify the letters and sounds, and color them on their recording sheets until they have marked all the letters.
