K is for Keys Preschool Sensory Activity!

K is for Keys!  This fun preschool sensory activity kept our kiddos entertained for a long time...and they couldn't wait to play again the next day!

To make your own "K is for Keys" sensory bin, you will need the these

Simple Supplies:

* play dough
* a variety of keys

There are SO many different ways your kiddos can explore and experiment with keys and play dough!  My favorite may have been the "snake that ate three birds":
