In this blog post today I’m sharing my ocean play dough bin. I recently shared this play dough bin on social media and I had hundreds of messages requesting all of the information to re-create this sensory bin for themselves.. So I figured it would be perfect to turn this into a blog post where you can easily access all of the information to make your own ocean play dough bin.
In this blog post I’m going to be sharing the materials that you need, instructions and how you can make this play dough bin for your students too.
