October Sensory Tub

Emily has asked every day for the past week, when I was going to put our October sensory tub together (black beans laying on the counter were a constant reminder to her).  Yesterday I had her help me round up all our Octoberish items and put our sensory tub together ~ of course I had to throw in a few surprises! 

  sensory bin

Our October sensory tub includes the following:

sensory bin

  • Plastic bat, snake, scorpion, ant, spiders and flies from Dollar Tree
  • Cat, spider and jack-o’-lantern erasers from Dollar Tree
  • Pumpkin, scarecrow, Indian corn buttons from Michaels
  • Felt owl stickers from Michaels
  • Clip on spiders from Michaels
  • Eyeballs from Michaels
  • Small tin container from goodwill store
  • Copper scoop ~ which I have had forever
  • A skeleton from Familyfun.com ~ I reduced it 25%, laminated it and cut it
  • Black pot from Michaels
  • Black beans
  • Seek and Find cards ~ just to make it a little more educational!

The kids (including the little furry one) have been having lots of fun exploring the sensory tub.

Very cute! Is this something a 7 year old would like? I don't have any younger ones...so it would just be for her.

Emily is 7 and she has been playing in it! I made the seek and find cards for her to read.

I love the seek and find cards! What a great idea.

What is the main purpose of these sensory bins. The idea sounds great and I know my 5 year old would love it. Do you think my 19 month old could "play" or use it too? My eldest is 7 so I'm just wondering how you use these - the main purpose behind them.

Love the bins though - very cute.

I LOVE the seek and find cards! I just put one together for the Fall season with cheap goodies from the Dollar Tree. I've found so many ways to use it already. I think the seek and find cards would enable my 7 year old to use it more!

I love the idea of a sensory tub! I tried one for the first time yesterday with my 2-yr. old. She just didn't seem that into it though. I'll keep trying - but it just may not be her cup of tea.

Putting this in a black pot is such a neat idea. Seek and find cards add another fun dimension to the sensory tub experience.

Your children are going to have so much fun with this.

I like that you have a card to go along with it....I imagine it helps them stay a little more engaged and actively "playing" with it.

Kelly ~ sensory tubs are a great way for kids to use multiple senses while exploring. I started letting Aiden play with sensory tubs when he was about your daughters age. Just watch her closely and make sure she doesn't eat anything!!
