Outer Space Sensory Bin - Creativity for Kids

Bought this for my 4 year old and he LOVES it!

Such a cute bin! I always wish there was more of the rocks (or sand) because it gets tossed away when it falls on the floor but this one has been our favorite yet.

So challenging to find sensory bin material that isn’t water beads! There really aren’t a bunch of rocks, but I wound up ordering another set because of how much everyone loves this one! I put all of the materials in the Flisat sensory table from ikea, and it didn’t quite fill the bottom of the tote. The rocks are like polished aquarium rocks. The kids really enjoy playing with just the rocks, so the other stuff is an awesome bonus! Nothing negative to say :)

It’s the perfect gift!

Nice quality sensory bin, with some good items in it. I do wish there were more space rocks in the bin. It’s very shallow, only the stars get covered and it makes scooping and pouring difficult. I’ll get something else to add to it, but I wish it came with more. I do like the rocks verses sand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son really liked this sensory bin. It is very difficult to engage him in any activity. But this bin keeps him busy for at least 30 mins. He loves scooping the rocks and playing with the squishy alien. Loves to pretend play. Will definitely recommend for other kids.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a 4 year old that loves to learn new things but it just depends on what new thing it is if it’s going to hold his interest. But this held his interest and I was more than happy. He loves thunderstorms so glad he loves this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter thought this sensory bin was fun, and it kept her entertained for a while. I feel like the rocks on the inside are pretty small for real little kids, but for those a bit older it should be fine. We washed it up and everything cleaned up and dryer out well. A pretty fun time for sensory play!

I have 2 boys on the spectrum. this sensory bin was awesome keeps there attention for long periods of time. great quality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids love this sensory bin, however I don't like it. Maybe it is just my kids buy my son likes to take scoop and put the gravel all over the table. With that being said the bin and toys inside are really cute. I like the tools that come with it, I wish the scoop had bigger holes for the gravel to fall through, but the kids enjoy it and it gives me a few moments to myself if they are occupied.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So this was given to my 5 year old. She has played with it every day and her 14 year old brother plays too. It comes with many fun and different toys. And rocks. The only reason I deducted a Star is because I think it needs more rocks. But in the end it encourages so much fun imagination that the possibilities are endless.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son has autism and he has lot of sensory issues so this sensor bin is perfect for his sensory needs. He sits and plays with this almost for one hour and he pretends and plays with this and uses his construction vehicles to play with this. I showed him and modeled how to use the tongs and scoop and he loves the space theme. He uses the tongs to pick the Pom Pom, stars and planets. He loves the different colored rocky material. He used it with the dump truck and made a dump site too. It was really fun for me to watch him play with deep interest. The planets could have been more like all the planets. It would have made more sense for kids. The bin is of great quality and good for storage after play. I added some more varieties of scoop to it to allow my kid to dig it better. We can hide the stars and let the kid dig and search. The stars glow at night. We can create tons of activities for kids with this sensory bin to promote learning. Helps a lot with concentration and gross motor skills. Kids will develop interest in science with the help of these materials in the sensory bin. The astronaut figure is cute for making kids feel that it’s a space theme. I felt they could have added more planets it’s more like a suggestion. Apart from that it’s just awesome.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sensory bin was so fun for my kids. My daughter loves collecting rocks and repeatedly asked if she could take the colorful ones for her rock collection. I explained she got to keep it to play in whenever she wants, and she was pretty excited about that. I love that it already comes in a box for storing later. It was super easy to open up and get playing. We went outside so I didn't have to worry about spilling the rocks on the ground. If inside, you might want to watch a little closer or put something under for easy cleanup. As you can see, we had a lot of kids playing at once with no issues. So fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter has enjoyed hours and hours of play with this sensory bin. I love that it is so easy to set up and put away for storage. The only thing I think it needed was more rocks to be able to actually cover the little figures that are included, it still works great but it would be a plus if it had more. I would definitely recommend this to other parents.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We busted this out on a rainy day. Both my boys love it and played at the same time. At first I thought there would be more rocks with it, but when they were playing I realized it was just the right amount. The love the alien so much that they gave it a name. This bin actually kept them busy for a much longer time that I thought it would!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My space obsessed kiddo thought this was great. She had fun counting all the pieces, and moving them around with the tools. I did notice that the bin could have used another bag of rocks, as it was difficult to bury some of the larger items like the astronaut and that user her a bit. Overall she enjoyed this activity though.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sensory bin is so much fun! My kids love digging inside and around to find the fun toys that comes with the set. It has everything they need for hours of fun and play! It comes with a convenient box to store everything in, too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great quite time toy for my 4 year old son. We loved the cute space theme. I like that it helps him work on his fine motor skills and he is able to play with it on his own (with supervision of course). I also really appreciated the included game ideas.. I would have never thought to play a memory game with it! I like that the bin is nice and tall so the Little Pebbles don’t fly out while he digs. I do wish it had more pebbles in the pack because it is nearly impossible to get everything covered up with the included amount. That is an easy fix though! We will be adding some fish tank gravel or maybe some sand in order to be able to hide and dig for more objects. My son had a lot of fun using the little tweezers and he really really loved the glow in the dark stars!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fun activity for kids , they can use their imagination to play for hours. It comes with lots of little toys and little rocks . Kids can imagine their in space and kids love touching the rocks.

Most of the bins come with a sand element and it was refreshing to have the black and coloured stones as the base material. We have all of the bins except the bugs and garden bin and this one was a huge hit, as there is a super cute and stretchy alien that my kids love!!
