October Sensory Bins and Games (Preschool and Two's)

Boo to you!  I love the month of October when I can pull out some of the spookier games!  Not to spooky though!

1.) Mummy Shape Matching
For this fun game, I have big mummies laid out and tiny mummies inside bowls with shredded paper.  The two's did fa-boo-lous matching the shapes! (I apologize, the mummy just looks like a big triangle, but he's really a mummy!)

2.) Monster Knockdown
For this game, all you need are empty boxes and construction paper!  I took my empty boxes and covered them all to look like pumpkins and boxes.  I do believe the two's would have played with these boxes for hours if I had let them!  Super easy and the kids go crazy over stacking and knocking down the boxes.

3.) Pumpkin Putt-Putt
I didn't take a picture of this one, but all you need is a craft pumpkin.  Just carve out a face and a big mouth.  Then tape it to the ground and put out your plastic putt-putt set.  You're done!  Sometimes I will make a long tongue out of red paper and tape that down, but I just ran out of time this year to do that.  The kids love playing putt-putt too!

4.) Bat Color Matching
Forgive me, I can't seem to find my picture of this.  For this sensory bin, I have cut up red streamers placed inside bowls.  Then, I taped down the different colored bats, with the color word printed below.  The kids then dug out the bats and matched them up to each correct bat.
