2 in 1 set Bug's Life order sensory bin and felt board kit. Daycare ECE literacy circle time bug ant spider ladybug butterfly habitat insect

The Bug's Life Sensory Bin and Felt Board Set are a match made for learning. Included are all parts of the Bug's Life Sensory Bin and the Bug's Life Felt Board set. They can be used together or separately. Matching, sorting, color recognition, insect identification and above all a fun tactile experience exploring an insect habitat on a 2D and 3D level.

This set is 2 sets combined in one listing but each set is available for purchase separately.

A version of this kit is very popular in my little home daycare and enjoyed by children from tiny to big including school age kids. So popular I'm recreating some of my most played with sensory bins for etsy and offering them for daycare, dayhome and home. Daycare providers and parents will both find this is a great way to pass the time.

Play ideas:

Add a book on insects or insect habitats
Use the felt habitat pieces separately with other animals
Change the fill from loose (beans, rice, paper shred, alphabet pasta) to textured (astroturf, moss).
Use without fill for an on the go playset.
Add cups to sort items by color, shape or texture.
Discuss opposites. Hard and soft. Big and small.
Add pictures of food items insects might eat.
Match the felt insects with their figurine counterparts.
Free exploration. Let imagination guide the way.


The bin is NOT included to save on shipping costs. I use bins with snapping lids from Walmart which come in a 4 pack for $10. Very inexpensive compared to shipping the same size from me to you! The bin pictured is approximately 12"x18"x6" but anything around that size will work.

Hand dyed pasta and rice is available in separate listings in my shop if you'd like to add some order. This set weighs approximately 400 grams so any fill would be combined with that weight.

If purchasing more than two items (including all sensory fills, sensory sets and felt sets) please message me for a custom listing with the appropriate shipping costs. The cart will overcharge you and noone wants that!

This item contains small parts and may not be suitable for children under 3. Please supervise young children especially those still mouthing toys when playing with any sensory bin.Twig and Daisy felt board sets do not have adhesive or hook and loop tape on the back of the pieces. I only use soft felt and it happens to contain a little bit of magic. Felt sticks to felt even on a vertical surface which is really cool! Adding hook and loop tape will actually ruin your felt board adding picks and making it look worn well before it's time.
