Simple Ghost Sensory Bin

Inspired by the ghost stones that I purchased from Michaels, I put together this simple Halloween sensory bin for kids.  It uses only three items so that's a bonus.

Halloween Sensory Bin Idea for Kids

This Halloween sensory bin uses water, white tissue paper, and ghost stones.  You might recognize these adorable little ghost stones from my counting ghosts busy bag.  They are really cute, don't you think?

Anyway, to make this ghost sensory bin, I ripped some white tissue paper into strips and tossed them into a bin full of water.  Then I placed the ghost stones on top.  The tissue paper gets all soggy and mushy, which makes this sensory bin look really spooky and ghost-like.

The boys were eager to check it out.

J quickly grabbed all the tissue paper...

Then started wringing it out onto the floor.  That's one way to wash my kitchen floor!

K was also fascinated by the wet tissue paper.  

He then put some on his body (see his socks in the picture below), which made him look sort of like a mummy.

Then both boys took turns dipping their head into the bin, splashing the water, and even tried to dump all the water on the floor.  Once they were done, the tissue paper really disintegrated, which made the bin look even more spooky.

Looks eerie, doesn't it?
