We are getting in the spooky spirit and to kick us off we have this Halloween Rice Sensory Bin.

Using rice we made last year and a few plastic toys, the kids were occupied for at least an hour! If nothing else, make the colored rice linked in this post!

Let your child collect some nature items and explore some (pretend) bugs! This was a great way to chat about the different creatures we might see as the weather warms up and ease some of the bug fears our 3 year old has.

Easy to set up and fun to explore!

This rice sensory bin is the perfect way to introduce or refamiliarize your kids with bugs and insects. It is a fun way to talk about nature and welcome spring!

This activity is unexpected and full of fun and imagination! If you have some pom poms and a bucket or bin, you can create this wonderful play opportunity with basically zero prep work.

A cranberry sensory bin is the perfect activity leading up to and following Thanksgiving. If you have a bag of cranberries, you have everything you need to set this up and watch the fascination unfold.

This activity uses staple pantry items to create a wonderfully fun sensory bin. Don’t feel limited to Halloween though, you can change up the colors to match whatever holiday or theme you want!

This activity is mesmerizing for kids and adults! Easy to set up with some basic household items, this activity will be a hit. My children wanted to do this again and again!

This activity sets up in a flash outside or inside and is sure to keep your kids entertained for quite a while. The ice brings an unexpected twist to painting, and this can be reset for round 2, 3, or 10 without much effort. Head to the full post for all the details.

A taste-safe dino egg activity that will be sure to engage your kids from set up to clean up. This one is a little messier, but packs in the fun!

This activity is so quick to set up, a breeze to clean, uses scrap paper, and is appropriate for babies all the way through school aged kids! Plus, you get to dream up all of your favorite ice cream cone combos!
