If you want to keep 15 preschoolers happy, curious, and engaged for OVER AN HOUR, try this amazing sensory play activity using colorful tapioca balls in water bins.
I bought a package of
these tapioca pearls from Amazon. Some of them are already colored, but there are many white ones in the package as well. I wanted to make this activity as colorful as I could so I used food coloring to dye the remaining pearls vibrant colors.
I placed three different shallow plastic bins around the "work area", added about 2 or 3 inches of water, and found different kinds of containers to put in each bin. One bin had plastic cups, one had plastic boats, and one had baby bottles with lids.

I couldn't believe how long these little ones were engaged with this activity. After an hour they were still going strong, so I poured all three bins into their water table so they could keep going after our time was over. I highly recommend this activity for your preschoolers!!
