Sensory Mix Size Guide
Not sure which size is right for your sensory setup? You're in the right place!
The perfect amount of sensory filler depends on the size of your sensory bin or play tray, how deep you'd like the filler, and how your little one enjoys playing. Whether you're creating a small invitation to play or filling an entire sensory table, there's a size that's just right for you.
