September Sensory Bins and Games

It's game time again!  This month I tried to center my games around the letters A-D and the themes we did with those letters. 

We had a lot of fun with our games, and my favorite find was the sponge balls!  I ordered them online, and the kids went bonkers playing with them!  Since they worked out so well, I ordered another pack of them.  They are so much better than beanbags and much more affordable.

1.) Crayon Bowling
The kids love bowling, and we did a color and artist theme at the beginning of September.

2.) Rabbit Color Matching
I found a wonderful rabbit pom-pom game online, which you can find the template for here.  But I wanted to use something besides pom-poms, and I found the wonderful sponge balls, so I thought I'd give them a try.  They were such a fascinating ball to the kids!  I just took an empty box, cut out my holes, printed out the rabbits taped them down.  The kids really enjoyed this game.

3.) Dog Number Matching & Sensory Bin (Preschool Only)
The kids love digging through bins, and I've found that Easter grass works wonderfully!  I took our dog bones, and put them in four different bowls.  We matched the bones to the cute little dogs, and did numbers 1-4.  I found this wonderful printable here.

4.) Letter Matching Game & Sensory Bin (Preschool Only)
I try to have out a lot of sensory items for the preschoolers, and this was a really fun one.  The kids really impressed me because they had no trouble at all matching the upper and lowercase letters.  I found this great printable here.

.) Ladybug Matching & Sensory Bin (Two's Only)
I wanted to make sure I had more than plenty of bins out for the two's to dig through.  I ended up putting out four bowls of Easter grass, with the cute little bugs hiding in the grass.  I taped down six leaves onto the chairs.  I've found the two's do better if I have the games lower where they can reach them better.  They did a wonderful job matching the colors.  I found this cute game here.
