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!

Rebecca of CraftCreateCalm is bringing her talent of creating calming activities to our Fall Sensory Series today! This post contains affiliate links.

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!
