Fall Sensory Bin and Learning Activities

I love making themed sensory tubs for my toddlers, its a great way to explore everything, I received a ten dollar gift card to the Dollar Tree so I went and got the materials. Thanks again for the donation, the toddlers will have such a fun learning experience! 

• Fake fall leaves from the Dollar Tree 
• Large pine cones
• Apple-shapes that you can take apart 
• Measuring cups and small buckets
• Acorns in small plastic containers glued tightly. 
• Different colored large pom poms
• Shovels

Language Development:

• Name objects in the bin for toddlers and ask them to locate the objects.  As they are able, ask toddlers to pick up an object and name it.
• Name the colors of objects in the bin.
• Play “I Spy” with the toddlers by describing an object using its physical description (color, shape, size, texture).

Counting:

• Choose a kind of object. Find all of those items in the sensory bin. Count how many in all.
• Choose two different kinds of objects. Find all of those items in the sensory bin.

Sorting: Sort objects from the bin by:

• Color
• Shape
• Size
• Texture
