🧺 How to Set Up Your Bear Sensory Bin
Start by decorating your Flisat table with the printable banner, awning, flags, and bear signs.
Fill your bins with a woodland-inspired sensory base (think dry oats for dirt or kinetic sand for the forest floor).
Add in bear figurines, trees, rocks, and mini camping gear.
Place your worksheets off to the side or laminate them and add to the bin for tracing + matching practice.
Let your child explore, scoop, find bears, and pretend they’re deep in the forest on an alphabet adventure.
This setup makes a great “Bear Cave,” “Hibernation Station,” or “Campground Play Tray.”
