Pumpkin Sensory Bag Fall Activity

Make your own pumpkin sensory bag this fall! We love fall and love experimenting with pumpkins. They are perfect for science, fine motor, and sensory play! After carving our first Jack O’Lantern of the season, I thought it would be fun to make a pumpkin sensory bag or squish bag for my son to explore.

EASY PUMPKIN SENSORY BAG FOR MESS FREE FALL PLAY

A simple pumpkin sensory bag is a perfect way to extend your pumpkin play activity. This certainly doesn’t have to be Halloween related and makes a great Fall sensory science activity. We also set up a simple Pumpkin Investigation Tray for even more scientific observation!

SUPPLIES

  • Pumpkin Insides
  • Zip Top Gallon Bag
  • Tape {optional if you want to reinforce the top}
  • Sharpie {optional if you want to draw a face}, and packaging tape {optional if you want to seal top}

Pumpkin Sensory Bag Set Up Zip Lock Bag and Pumpkin

If you wish, draw a face on your zip top bag to start your pumpkin sensory bag. Add your pumpkin goop! This is a great time to talk about parts of a pumpkin if you haven’t already! There is so much opportunity for hands-on learning when you are simply talking with your child while preparing an activity. Seal the top and you have a pumpkin sensory bag.

Pumpkin Squish Bag Sensory Play Fall Activity

If you have a child who is a bit squeamish about slimy feeling materials, this pumpkin sensory bag is a perfect way to explore the pumpkin comfortably! Sensory bags are terrific sensory play ideas.

Pumpkin Sensory Bag Pumpkin Seeds

Manipulating the pumpkin sensory bag with fingers or one finger is also a great fine motor activity. Push the seeds around, separate and count them, trace letters or trace around the shapes of the face. Hand-eye coordination and finger dexterity are simple fine motor skills used here.

Plus a pumpkin sensory bag feels and looks pretty neat!
