Fall Leaves & Pumpkin Sensory Bin
Last year we did a matching sensory bin. This year we changed it up a bit and did something different.
I love the different textures that you can explore with this bin. This is a fun way to start off your fall but exploring a few parts of the season. Hands on learning is always fun!
What you need: mixture of beans (only use with older kids who wont eat them), 2 types of fake leaves and pumpkins, small cups and Easy Grip Tweezers
Mary explored the different items in the bin. She loved the feel of the beans and leaves.
She poured beans from one cup to another. This is a great skill to learn.
She used the Easy Grip Tweezers
She looked at the pumpkins and squash in the bin.
We pulled out all the pumpkin, squash and leaves and did some hands on patterns. We started with simple patterns and worked up to harder ones. This is easy and fun.
For a different Fall Sensory bin, check out the one we used last year. It is always fun to change things up!

Yep, my son is one of those kids that would eat the beans. Love the colours!
This is perfectly timed for fall. The colors are so warm and inviting and sensory bins are great learning tools. Thank you for linking up this week to the Thoughtful Spot Weekly Blog Hop 🙂
