Home is where the learning is.
If you’ve spent much time here at The Stay-at-Home Teacher, you know that we have a deep love of sensory bins. Sensory play is such an amazing way to combine important fine motor skills with any other skill you can imagine! But it’s also a GREAT way to engage your kiddos! So today, I want […]
One of our absolute FAVORITE ways to practice for school time is through preschool sensory activities! For years now, LG has loved sensory bins and has really worked up a good stamina for playing with them independently. So when we first began homeschool preschool, I knew it was time to add a little academic twist! […]
As a homeschool mama, I know how valuable your time is.

One of my newest sensory bin obsessions has been turning our bins into mini bins! This first came about when my dear friend Rachael from Texas Speech Mom shared this hack as a traveling SLP. Considering we’re dealing with a small space ourselves as RVers, I knew this would be a perfect solution for using […]
Several days ago, a friend asked about how I introduced sensory bins to LG and what our first sensory bin was. Funny enough, this picture from our very first sensory bin experience just popped up on my TimeHop app! So, it only seemed fitting to share with you all! In this picture, LG was a […]
Hi, my name is Kaitlyn and I’m obsessed with sensory bins. There. I said it. If you’ve been following my Instagram account, you’ve probably noticed this obsession. I’ve always thought they were such a fun way to practice sensory and fine motor skills, and now that LG is old enough to be interested I […]
