I have considered doing a sensory box for the boys before. With the weather not warming up in Oregon I decided this is the best time. I found this great DIY sensory box that fit this weeks theme of gardening. Since the boys have been having fun playing in the dirt of late, boys will be boys, I thought that this would be perfect.
Modern Parents Messy Kids has such great directions I will just share our photos from the project!
Have you tried sensory boxes before for your kids? What did they think of them?
Great idea! I created a water sensory table (see pics on my blog) and when the weather turns cold again, I’ll bring it inside and make it into your fantastic garden sensory table. I love the beans!

I love your water sensory table! I will have to do something like that. I’ve been considering buying one of those tables for my boys but I love what you did even better! And I love that you are going to bring it inside during the winter!
Thanks so much for trying my bean box project and for linking back to the original post. My kids weren’t old enough to help out making the box so it is fun for me to see your son having fun with that part of it too

I love the idea of turning the sensory box into a garden! Around here we hide little toys in it to be ‘discovered’ and ‘excavated’.
