Pirate Treasure Hunt For Preschoolers

Pirate Treasure Hunt For Preschoolers {Sensory Bin Idea}

Sensory Bin Pirate Treasure Hunt For Preschoolers

Ahoy, matey!!! Did you know September 19th is National Talk Like A Pirate Day? Seems pretty fitting for today’s Pirate Treasure Hunt sensory bin idea, am I right?!

Each year, this day is designated as the day when everyone in the world should talk like a pirate. Because clearly it’s fun to talk like a pirate, right??

Whether you plan on speaking the language in honor of the patriotic holiday {or not} I have a fun sensory activity for you to pull together for your child in honor of the special day.

I personally love creating sensory bins for my son. Not only does he learn and play with his imagination BUT I like to throw in some educational things like naming, counting and spelling. For today’s sensory bin idea, I went with the theme “Pirate Treasure Hunt.”

It may sound elaborate, but it’s honestly not. I was actually able to reuse several things from other sensory bins {meaning – check out the other sensory bins I have shared on the blog already}

And I was also able to find a few Halloween things at my local Dollar Tree that fit in perfectly with the theme too {skeletons, rats, bats, spider webs} And of course, you can use whatever you have on hand and/or fits in your budget.

Ready to learn how to pull it together? Aye Aye captain – let’s grab our supplies and make this pirate hunt sensory bin idea comes to life today! Just keep scrolling to learn more!
