Pumpkin Sensory Bin with Rice

Pumpkins are always a fun fall theme. We have been studying a lot about pumpkins this fall. We did this fun pumpkin sensory bin and had fun counting, sorting, and having some sensory fun.

The Pumpkin Sensory Bin with Rice is simple and easy to put together for those last minute needs for a busy activity that is also sensory.

The pumpkin sensory bin is also great for any pumpkin theme for October and November.

The Pumpkin Sensory Bin is a great addition to the pumkin activities and sensory bins on the site.

What is a Sensory Bin?

A sensory bin is typically a plastic tub or container filled with carefully selected materials and objects to stimulate the senses of children in preschool.

Sensory bins might have rice, water beads, corn, beans, or other types filled with small items.

Pumpkin Books to Read with the Pumpkin Sensory BIn

We read the book How Big Could Your Pumpkin Grow? before doing this sensory bin. You can talk about size of pumpkins.

The Pumpkin Book by Gail Gibbons is a great book to learn about pumpkins and more about the history and pumpkin facts.
