Cinnamon Scented Pinecone Sensory Bin Activity

Looking for pinecone activities for toddlers or preschoolers? Then you'll definitely want to try this cinnamon scented pinecone sensory bin!

---

Water sensory play is always a favorite activity for my boys. 

And I love these types of water sensory soup bins because they are super easy to set up (hint: there's basically no set up). Some other sensory soups such as the apple sensory soup and the fall leaves soup have been huge hits. So I knew this one would be as well.

I particularly love that this scented pinecone sensory bin activity combines natural elements  (pinecones!) with the wonderful scent of cinnamon. Mmmm...seriously, it smells so divine!

So if you're looking for pinecone activities, look no further.

Preschool Pinecone Activity: What You'll Need

For this scented pinecone sensory bin, we used:

• Pinecones - The same ones we used for this Reggio math tray.

• Cinnamon

• Water

• Kitchen utensils - I added some plastic cups and bowls, a whisk, a ladle, and a large plastic spoon. Other items to consider adding: measuring cups, measuring spoons, or a funnel.

Simply dump everything into a large plastic container, like below. I know the water appears dirty, but I prefer to call it rustic. And when I showed my husband the pictures, he described it as "definitely fall colored." Ha!

But look at the close up! Aren't the pinecones lovely?!

Toddlers & Preschoolers Love this Pinecone Sensory Bin!

As with our other sensory soups, the boys loved scooping and pouring using the big spoon and ladle. It's a simple way to work on fine motor skills.

They also loved to mix up their concoction with the whisk.

And, of course, dumping the entire soup out so that they could make a new batch is extremely fun too!

This sensory bin was tons of fun and super simple to put together.
