Looking for acorn activities for preschool? Try this simple pumpkin and acorn sensory bin activity!
There's just something about playing with water. My kids can't get enough of it.
So, when my kids are bored, I often put together a simple water play activity for them. Usually it is inspired by the current season, their current interests, or uses something I already have on hand.
This pumpkin and acorn sensory bin is a perfect example.
I love sensory bins like these because they require zero prep from me and can be put together in seconds. But I also love them because the kids find them engaging and fun.

Preschoolers & Toddlers Will Love this Pumpkin & Acorn Sensory Bin!
My boys particularly enjoy scooping up all the water that they can using the large spoon and ladle. They usually aim to fill up the bowl that I supply, simply so they can dump out all of the water. Scoop and dump. Scoop and dump. And repeat.
Look at all the bubbles!
