Fall Sensory Bins

 Today, I'm excited to share three fall sensory bin ideas for your tots! We love sesnory bins around here, - they not only "distract" our younger kiddos from getting into the big kids' markers and math pages, but also encourage creative play, fine motor development, and introduce a variety of textures and shapes to explore. I'm a firm believer that simple is best with sensory bins, so that being said, each bin only has a handful of things from Michael's or Target! We love using measuring cups, spoons, and THESE fine motor tools, as well. 

Apple Orchard
This bin contains colored pasta "grass" (add a little rubbing alcohol to a bag along with food coloring, shake, and let dry in the sun), apples from the floral department at the craft store, popsicle stick "fences", a bucket, and a bushel basket!

Harvest
This bin uses pinto beans as base (but I think dried corn would be fun!), gourds from the autumn craft section, fake leaves to bury or throw, and wooden pumpkin stickers for an added sensory activity.

Halloween
While I know not everyone celebrates Halloween, I wanted to share this one, as the black beans and neon pipe cleaners make for a fun and colorful experience. While this one is "Halloween" themed, this could easily be replicated with other neon pipe cleaners, pom poms, and supplies!
