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.

September 30, 2013 at 10:31 pmThese 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.
