Number Button Sensory Bin

I’ve been working on numbers with Mary. And this button sensory bin has been a great way to do it! Mary loves the buttons and provides lots of fine motor skill as well as her learning her numbers.

What you need: random buttons, Favorite Findings 3-1/2-Ounce Big Bag of Buttons, Numbers, cup, and 1 to 20 number playdough mat (can be found in the Coloring Section).

Mary got to look through the bin and play for a bit. This was to see what she would find in it.

She collected the same of one type button.

Mary was given the playdough mat for number 1. Mary started looking for number one buttons. She placed the number 1 buttons on the number 1 playdough mat.

Mary then counted out the number of buttons we needed and placed them on the mat.

Mary repeated this same activity for 2 other numbers.

Loved it. Both my kids love having buttons / beads sensory bins but I never linked them with numbers before.
