Forest Floor Fall Sensory Activity

This Forest Floor fall sensory activity lets little hands feel the slippery surface of leaves, sticks and pinecones after a heavy rain washes dirt and other debris to create a slimy forest environment under the tree-tops.

Have you ever felt the forest floor after a heavy rain? Well wonder no more! This is one of many fun water-based sensory bins.

Making your slime:

Mix about a cup of soap flakes with 3 ½ cups hot water until the flakes dissolve.

Let sit for an hour and whisk to create a slimy texture.

This isn’t a thick slime, but more of a slimy water substance.

Creating your slimy forest floor:

Place the acorns, leaves and pinecones into the tray.

My kids gathered a few small sticks from our backyard to add too.

Pour the slime mixture over the contents of the tray and let the kids play!

I added the soil substrate to the mixture after they had played for a while, and they loved the muddy environment.

Add a few scoops and cups to let them fill with slippery acorns.

It’s messy, so place a towel or something down. But luckily, it’s soap water!
