From fine motor fun to building your own sensory bin, here are a few fun St. Patrick's Day activities for you and your children this season!
St. Patrick's Day Sorting Trays for Fine Motor Fun
St. Patrick’s Day brings with it so many fun colors to enjoy. With the obvious heavy splash of green at this time of year, we also like to incorporate the rest of the rainbow. Here are four simple sorting trays to help keep little hands busy and little minds engaged.
Rainbows Galore: Sorting by Color
This is probably the most simple of the sorting activities. Place a selection of these cute little rainbow erasers (from Michael’s Store) on a tray, along with three empty bowls and some Learning Resources Gator Grabber Tweezers™. Ask your child if they can sort the rainbows into color categories.
The Gator Grabbers are great for younger children. They encourage the whole hand to work hard and help to avoid frustration. My 4-year-old did a great job picking up the rainbows and sorting them into the three bowls. When she was done, she carefully counted how many of each color she had, a fun numeracy link.
Mini Roll & Sort: Counting & Sorting
Adding dice to your sorting setup is a great way to build some early numeracy skills. For this specific activity, we used our Dice Poppers! Single dice. Using the popper style dice really adds excitement and engagement for little ones! I put out our fun collection of mini St. Patrick’s Day-themed erasers (from Party City), along with an ice cube tray and a set of Handy Scoopers™.
My preschooler popped the dice and then identified the number. She then used the Handy Scoopers to grab a scoop of the erasers, from which she counted the correct number into the ice cube tray section. Several stages to this sorting activity helped to maximize fine motor skill development and counting practice. My daughter also thought the tiny size of these erasers slotting into the ice cube tray compartments was really neat.
Colorful Muffin Tin Sort: Sorting by Color
Using a muffin tin as a sorting tray is such a great play and learning hack. I like to add these vibrant silicone cupcake liners (from Amazon Basics) to the muffin tin to instantly turn it into a color sorting tray. The erasers for this activity are little Crayola crayons (from Dollar Tree). This time around, the tool provided was a Squeezy Tweezer™, my daughter’s favorite!
My preschooler had to be patient and carefully manipulate the crayon eraser into the Squeezy Tweezer and then drop it into the correct color cupcake liner. The uniqueness of these little erasers made the activity really fun. It also lends itself well to talking about color mixing. We speculated what color we would get if we mixed different combinations of little crayon erasers.
Pom Poms & Water: Sensory Sorting
This one really was a big hit with my preschooler. I simply added three different colored pom-poms (from Dollar Tree) to a bowl of water and provided some Handy Scoopers and three empty bowls. There was lots of excitement at exploring how the pom poms absorbed the water like a sponge. My daughter spent ages using the pom-poms like a sponge, slowly squeezing them dry.
After the initial exploration time, the attention shifted to using the Handy Scoopers to rescue the pom poms from the water and sort them into their color bowls. Using this particular fine motor skill really makes the whole hand work hard. It is also amusing how the water drains out of the holes in the scoop. This activity definitely kept the play going the longest!
Sorting trays are a fantastic way to explore colors, counting, shapes, size, and so much more. With Learning Resources' fine motor skills toys, they also ensure a full hand workout, helping to develop those all-important muscles for writing.
DIY Leprechaun-Approved Crystal Rainbows
Looking for more St. Patrick’s Day activities for kids? Try out this activity which will allow kids to get their minds in science.
Break out the Borax for this colorful St. Patrick’s Day craft! Grow your own crystal rainbows overnight by applying simple principles of chemistry and suspension science.
You will need:
Heatproof glass jar, container, or measuring cup
Dowels, wooden spoons, or pencils
Kitchen string
9 tablespoons of Borax
Fuzzy pipe cleaners
Boil 3 cups of water. While your water boils, place your pipe cleaners in spectrum order and shape then into a rainbow. Note: unless your heatproof container is deep and wide enough, you will probably have to trim your pipe cleaners down to almost half.
To bind the rainbow together, use a white pipe cleaner as a “cloud” on either end.
Once your rainbows are shaped, tie a kitchen string or thread around the top pipe cleaner. This is how you will hang it over the Borax solution.
With some probable trial and error, tie your rainbow around your dowel and hang it from your heatproof jar. You want to make sure that the rainbow will not touch the sides of the jar or the other rainbow. This needs to be true when the liquid is poured into the jar, as your rainbows need to be submersed. This is where using a glass measure cup was helpful. The three-cup marking made it clear where to hang the rainbow.
Remove your dry rainbow for the heatproof jar and have it at the ready. Scoop out 9 tablespoons of Borax into a separate, heatproof bowl and pour in the three cups of boiling water (it proved easier to stir in a big bowl, then transfer the solution to the measuring cup). Stir with a metal spoon until Borax is dissolved. The solution will be cloudy.
With your rainbows attached to your dowels, lower them into the solution. Again, you want to make sure they are not touching the sides of the jar or each other.
Let your rainbows hang overnight. It is important to NOT touch them or move the jar around. Your jar must remain in an undisturbed state. After a few hours, crystals will begin to form.
And now the true reveal: the next morning. Loads of crystals!
Pull out the rainbows slowly, and then give them a quick rinse.
The results are amazing. The kids will be so impressed!
The science behind it: When you mix the Borax with the boiling water, it may look like it completely dissolves. However, solid particles are still left over because you stirred up a saturated solution: a mixture where there’s more powder than the liquid can hold. As the solution cools down, these particles have to settle somewhere, and in this case, it’s on the fuzzy pipe cleaners provided. The important part is to leave it all undisturbed, allowing the particles to become bigger than the solution. This is known as suspension science.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
St. Patrick's Day Sensory Bin
Still need more ideas for activities for kids for St. Patrick’s Day? You’re in luck! Have your kids, in the classroom or at home, try out this St. Patrick’s Day sensory bin for fun and learning engagement.
St. Patrick’s Day is the perfect opportunity for a DIY rainbow rice sensory bin! Kids will love to stimulate their senses with different textures, colors and fine motor sensory bin accessories. It’s super easy with these steps and the help of Learning Resources Tri Grip Tongs and Learning Resources Squeezy Tweezers, which conveniently are rainbow colors! This activity is great for families looking for any opportunity to engage their kiddos through play, or as a sensory center in any daycare or classroom! I’ll even share some inspiration for how to differentiate it for higher leveled learners.
In order to get started with dying the rice, you’ll need to gather the supplies below:
Vinegar
Ziploc bags
Rice-food coloring
Step 1:
Evenly distribute the rice into Ziploc bags (in increments of cups). About 2 cups of rice are pictured in each bag.
Step 2:
Measure 1 tablespoon of vinegar per 2 cups of rice in each bag.
Step 3:
Plan out the desired colors and add about 5 drops of food coloring. Add more color in order to achieve brighter results.
Step 4:
Carefully secure the Ziplock bag, shake and spread/mix the color and rice evenly with your fingers.
Step 5:
Set the rice out on a plate or baking tray to dry for about 24 hours. The color won't mix if you decide to add the rice before it’s fully dry. The only thing is your hands might smell a little like vinegar.
In the meantime, gather the supplies below for a St. Patrick’s Day sensory bin.- A bin or sensory table- Learning Resources Tri Grip Tongs -Learning Resources Squeezy Tweezers-Gold coins-Glitter four leaf clovers and stars-St. Patrick’s Day goodies found at your local dollar store or party store (green metallic confetti and green cups/leprechaun hats are a great option)- You can even add green pom poms for a different texture.
Step 6:
Add the rainbow rice into the bin carefully. I added one color at a time and gathered it in layers after each pour. Below you can see a side angle. Admire its beauty before being mixed indefinitely!
Step 7:
Choose how much or how little of the goodies and accessories you’d like to add to the St. Patrick’s Day sensory bin. I think it’s always fun to “hunt” for items in the rice so don’t be afraid to only add a few items.
Using the Learning Resources Tri Grip Tongs and Learning Resources Squeezy Tweezers to scoop rice into the cup to collect coins in the leprechaun’s hat can be the perfect fine motor activity. I love how perfect they are for a wide age range of primary learners. Lucky for you, there are so many ways you can modify this to meet the needs of your learners. Rather than simply thinking of it as a St. Patrick’s Day sensory bin with holiday goodies to improve fine motor skills, you can easily incorporate it as a number/letter seek and find, or even sight word and addition and subtraction math fact center. Or, save the rainbow rice and use it from season to season!
From fine motor fun to building your own sensory bin, here are a few fun St. Patrick's Day activities for you and your children this season!
