Halloween Sensory Box

Hi all!!! I know, it's been forever. Well that's what you get when you have a baby and move in the same month. Then it's taken two more months to get any kind of rhythm down in our life. So, blogger fail. Wife/mom win.  But I've had a lot of great blog ideas while I was away. So YAY!! GET PUMPED!!

It's almost Halloween.  My husbands (and me too) favorite holiday.  Also, our anniversary....five ridiculous years if you were wondering....scary, I know.  Anywho, I wanted to do something fun. He doesn't really grasp the concept of the holiday yet, it's all CANDY!!! Oh well, next year. Till then we'll just play.

So here's what I did. I took a plain old plastic storage container (get one with a locking lid) and filled it with black beans and blank eyed peas. I then filled it with Halloween theme items I got at Target, the local dollar store, and some stuff I just had around the house!

Beans and Peas

He helped pour the bags in

And mix them all together. 

I gave him his scoops. Then I added a mini plastic pumpkin, 

baking cups, fake spiders and bugs, Halloween finger puppets, 

and a pumpkin glow ring. Then I just let him go nuts. 

He had fun scooping the beans and
 pouring them into the little pumpkin

Elbows deep!

'Counting' the beans

I guess the ghost finger puppet

needed to see his new molars.

Juice break...

Happy Halloween!!!

Pop the lid on when you're done.
And it's ready to go for next time.
