Pumpkin Sensory Bin for Halloween Fun with Kids

For younger children Halloween can be an exciting time. There are so many new things to explore and discover from Pumpkins to their first exposers to scarier concepts with spiders, bats and ghosts. Engage their senses this Halloween by creating a sensory bin filled with those fun items you find at the local craft store and dollar spots at Target or Walmart.

I’ll admit I hit the jackpot when I found these small green games bag and black and hot pink gems back at my local craft store, they were in the clearance isle in the back of JoAnns and I knew exactly what they would be perfect for and only spent just a few dollars for my bead fillers. I think if you keep your eye out you’ll find yours too. This Halloween Vase Filler Set work be ideal.

I’ll also be using this green colors for a spring themed bin, St. Patricks Day and perhaps christmas too. The black colors can be used for a space theme or even a planting themed bin. I’m always trying to find ways to make thing multifunctional.

Materials

Directions:

There are so many open ended ways that your child can explore a Halloween Sensory Bin. One of those helpful ways is acting out any fears they may have about the holiday. We added a few spiders, bats and eyeballs to our Halloween Sensory Bin since my child is 5 years old, for younger children you might want to just keep it to pumpkins and perhaps spiders.
