Building your own sensory box will take less than 5 minutes. You can use any type of container from a baby pool to a foam cooler. Just simply fill the container with one of the following – fish tank rock (fun to use a bunch of different colors), sand, various dried beans, popcorn kernels, rocks,rice or even jello (if you’re crazy this is the ultimate sensory box filling). Then put in some toys, measuring cups, large rocks, etc…
