Sparkly Winter Sensory Bin with Snowflake Alphabet Letters

Some of my favorite things about winter are freshly fallen snow and hoar frost. 

I especially love how freshly fallen snow sparkles. So I attempted to recreate that look in a winter sensory bin using glitter. 

Now, I am not a big fan of glitter to begin with, but I braved (and almost fully embraced) glitter in order to make this snowflake sensory bin. It was worth it, even if I did find glitter for weeks...

Sparkly Winter Sensory Bin Idea for Kids (That Includes a Little Alphabet Learning!)

Now, I could have left this sensory bin as is with some glitter, soap foam, and some snowflakes from the dollar store, but I went one step further to include a little learning.

See, when you have a hyperlexic child, the best way to get a little buy-in from them is to use their passion and interest, which for most hyperlexic kids, is their interest in letters. That's why I turned the snowflakes into snowflake alphabet letters. It really piqued J's interest to check out and play with this sensory bin.
