Bunny Garden Sensory Tray
1-2 Years, 2-4 Years, 4-6 Years
Create a mini bunny garden full of tactile fun! Fill a tray with your “grass” base, then hide little carrots and place bunnies around the tray. Kids can scoop, dig, and move the bunnies and carrots, exploring textures and practicing fine motor skills. It’s a hands-on way to engage imagination and sensory play, while letting children create their own playful garden scene.
