Get ready to sail the Seven Seas, or at least a small, sudsy portion of it, with our DIY Swashbuckling Soapy Seafoam Sensory Bin! We love play date activities that are simple, creative and fun and this sensory bin is just that! We took a few cute pirate themed products, added some colorful soapy water and let our little pirates dive in and let their little hands discover what treasures were hidden beneath the deep, blue sea!
Grab your Kitchen Aid or mixer and add the water, Dawn Dish Soap and blue Washable Water Color and mix until a fun and frothy blue foam appears.
Grab your favorite color Bin and place it on the Pirate Tablecloth. Add a piece of Pirate Plastic Streamer for a fun pirate detail. We chose this decoration because it’s made of plastic, so it doesn’t matter if it gets wet! Add a variety of pirate themed trinkets and favors to the Bin including Pirate Coins, Plastic Gold Coins and awesome items from the Pirate Assortment.
Pour the blue, soapy sea foam into the Bin, hiding all the pirate booty!
Have the little swashbucklers roll up their sleeves and reach into the frothy sea foam! Once they find an item, have them try and guess what it is before pulling it out of the foam. Once they’ve guessed, they can take a look at the item and see if they were right! They can save their treasured tokens in these cute little treasure chests that came with the Pirate Assortment!
Have them play until all the items are found or until their treasure chests are overflowing with sunken treasure! The kids had a blast fighting their way through the soapy sea foam and we love that we could make this easy and playful DIY for them to enjoy!
