Underwater Sensory Bin

I like themed sensory bins, in theory, but it takes a lot of work to prepare them if you want them to really be good. I don't have that much time and foresight to plan a theme and have everything on hand for it, and besides, I don't really think the kids appreciate it. This time I happened to have some ocean things and I put them together to make this sensory bin. It kept them busy for about 10 minutes, till they started dumping out the water! I used plastic fish, watering cans, a toy boat, glass marbles, leaves, and a blue sponge (just because I felt like it needed something else to make it fun). Blue water made it so cool!
