Kids love our best-selling sensory kits that burst with learning and play! Our ready-to-go pond sensory bin brings fun right to your doorstep.

A close up of the pond sensory bin: A clear bucket is filled with water and materials: rocks line the bottom and in/on the water you can see frogs, googly eye "frog eggs," two rubber duckies, a lily pad with a bright pink flower, glow sticks, foam insect shapes, and small wood rounds.

This pond sensory bin will have your kids frog-jumping for joy

With decades of teaching experience under our belts, we know the best types of materials to keep kids involved in engaging play and learning.

Each item is intentionally thought of and included for specific learning possibilities.

One of the best parts of these kits is that your child can always add things they love from home or the classroom.

Sensory play is open-ended and has limitless learning potential.

Check out the video

What are kids learning when playing with this kit?

One hundred billion things, including:

  • Float and sink: Explore how many frogs can sit in a froggy boat before it capsizes
  • Vocabulary: Learn new words from the materials and books
  • Spatial awareness: Learn how many frogs can fit on a lily pad
  • Teamwork: Complete the DIY kit with friends or adults
  • Tactile exploration: Explore the difference between dry and wet
  • Creativity: Name and play with the beautiful collection of plastic frogs
  • Force and motion: Watch as the materials move in the water with different currents
  • Fine motor: Use the eye droppers to add splashes of water to play

Sensory play is an authentic, meaningful tool for learning creativity, fine motor skills, math, science, literacy, and social skills.

The pond sensory kit makes for an incredible, out-of-the-box gift, too.

FAQ

What age this sensory kit recommended for?

Use this kit with kids ages three and up, however no matter the age, children should always be supervised when playing with any contents from the kit.

Can I keep the kit for future use?

Absolutely! You can get years and years of fun out of your pond sensory bin.

Can floam get wet?

It can! One of my favorite things about floam is that it can get wet and that it floats. When you’re finally done playing, let it dry out completely before storing it back up.

A piece of orange floam floats in the pond sensory bin with a small brown and black plastic toy frog floating on it.

A pond sensory kit is just right

You’ll discover a whole new world once you explore sensory learning with your child.

We cannot wait to see your sensory kit in action and to hear how much your kids love it, too.

Have fun!
