HALLOWEEN SENSORY ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS
Halloween Sensory Play And Hands On Learning For Kids
Halloween can be such a fun and novel holiday for young children. It certainly doesn’t have to be scary or frightening but it can be a little creepy, crawly and filled with silly sensory play and a little bit of learning too!
Halloween sensory play also doesn’t have to be hard to set up or expensive either. I love the dollar store for seasonal sensory items.
Tip: When the holiday is done, I store items in a zip lock bag and place in a plastic bin for next year
I love sensory play for my son and he loves all the hands-on fun! Read all about why sensory play and especially why sensory bins are important! Tactile sensory play is perfect for young kids and we have great sensory play recipes for you to try.
