Pinto Bean Construction Zone
Supplies:
pinto beans (we love buying these in bulk from Costco!)
shovels
play tray (we love using the Meka tuff tray, but any large flat tray or bin will work!)
Let kids dump, pour, scoop, and explore! Activities like this help little ones develop motor skills, build hand-eye coordination, and learn to manipulate tools all while encouraging imaginative play in a fun and exciting way.
I love how quick this play tray is to set up, easy to store and reuse, and engaging enough to keep kids entertained for extended periods. Keeping all the materials in a single plastic bin makes it a simple, low-prep activity for busy parents and teachers.
