Halloween is coming near. Once that air turns crisp, my children can not wait to start decorating for Halloween. What better way to have fun with the season then by creating a Halloween sensory kit. This allows them to enjoy the upcoming holiday and builds their sensory skills.
These bins entertain them as they explore their senses. We also like to put things in containers that will engage their motor skills. For this particular bin, we placed beads and pipe cleaners, thus allowing them the opportunity to put the beads on the pipe cleaners to make bracelets and other fun things. We also use various colors and textures to help engage their senses on different levels.
This particular box is for my children, but we had to remember my niece. My children (well, most of them) like the scary parts of Halloween (at a child’s level), for example, the spiders, witches, and snakes. On the other hand, my niece wants nothing to do with it. My son wanted spiders in the box for Halloween, so we found ”sparkly, glittery Spiders.” We talked them up to her with all their beauty, and she loved them. There are so many items you could add to this Holiday themed box, but this is what we added:
