Pigs in Mud – pretend mud Sensory Bin
We loved to create a mud kitchen playtime with this pretend mud but then later on I found out the pigs and we did a small farm sensory bin with them.
Muddy Construction Site
What toddler boy is not obsessed with construction vehicles? set up a construction site using this recipe and ommit the water. Give them the water in a separate bowl and let them do the mixing. Manu spent about 45 minutes playing with this setup. It was a definitely win and one we have repeated often ever since.
To set up a construction site sensory bin activity all you need is to add some rocks, logs, wood pieces, and of course, construction vehicles, and your edible mud recipe (pretend mud). Everything else the imagination will take care of!

Notes
The oil makes the mud be moldable, like wet sand. If you don’t care for it to be moldable you can leave it out.
If you want more of a mud texture, replace the oil with water
