This Halloween Seek and Find Sensory Bin can be enjoyed by kids from age 4 up to 10 years old. And, from experience, we know that even some parents like to get in on this fun too! This activity can be made easily with items from the dollar store.
The bin can be adapted to suit any other holiday such as Christmas, Valentine's Day, or Easter, simply by changing the hidden objects and going with a single color bean or dying dry pasta.
