A Spooky Sensory Experience: Week of Sensory Bins, Day 5!

You know, I never really liked Halloween that much as a kid. Sure, it was a day to dress up and be silly and get all sorts of candy and stuff, but really, I wasn't that impressed by it.

This is the Closest I'll ever Get to Swimming in an Fish Tank: Week of Sensory Bins, Day 4

Both of the boys are pretty fascinated by fish. We have three goldfish going on 2 years old that we won at a Halloween carnival! Every time we visit an aquarium or zoo, we always have to spend extra time with the fishes.

Oats and Gems, and Trucks, oh my!! A Week of Sensory Bins, Day 1!

One of Cocoa Puff's favorite activities are our "sensory" bins. I also call them activity bins. I've made them for multiple occasions and holidays. Originally, I had made a bunch of them for Froot Loop, but his tactile sensory issues made it so that he would barely even touch most of the sensory bins, much less actually enjoy playing with it. Soooooo, I put some of them away and brought them out for Cocoa Puff when he was about 18 months old. He still plays with them at 3 years old, so I've made a few more. Here is one of his recent favorites: a rainbow-dyed oatmeal sensory bin with glass gems, marbles, and plastic coins.
