Sensory bin INSIDE a paddling pool (deflated) - contains 99% of mess.

Dry rice/lentils with cups and scoops in a deep tray. Sweep up easily.

Water beads in a sealed box with the lid removed - they can play with the lid back on too.

Frozen toys in ice - they have to melt/chip to free them. Easy cleanup.
