Make Your Kid Squeal with Halloween Sensory Bins

September 30, 2013 by Mommy Evolution 27 Comments

These Halloween sensory bins are awesome for kids of all ages — from toddlers to grade schoolers. Find the right one for your kid.

Halloween is a time to embrace the completely gross. Or at least to try out something that will make your tot squeal with delight.  Some sensory bins are meant to be disgusting while others are just plain fun.

Can you guess which ones my boys would like? Yep. The grosser the better! Especially for my 1st Grader.

      We are just getting into the Halloween spirit and I’m thinking I’m going to try the spaghetti bin. But do you think my boys would try to eat it afterward? Ha!

    These are all excellent ideas. I like the candy corn in the rice combo. 😉 Of course, my boys would probably be interested in the slimy junk.

      My boys would love the slimy junk, too… and probably fling a bunch at each other 🙂

    What a wonderful collection of ideas! I remember my mum doing similar for us as kids with peeled grapes for eyeballs and cold spaghetti for worms!
