Pumpkin Spaghetti Guts Activity

Hi friends! I’m so glad you landed on today’s Pumpkin Guts Sensory Bin Idea!

On that note – are you ready for Halloween? We are gearing up for a ‘spook-tacular’ month at Glued To My Crafts and I hope you are as excited as I am! My calendar is filled with tons of Halloween crafts so be sure to check back in the coming days!

But as for today – we are kick-starting the theme off with this EASY Pumpkin Guts Sensory Play. Sensory bins are my favorite thing to pull together lately for my son. And since it’s a little early to be carving pumpkins – this is a great alternative to the traditional Halloween activity. {plus in my opinion more fun!}

The supplies are inexpensive {we are talking less than a few dollars} and if you know how to boil water – you are well on your way to pulling it together!

So friends – you can find all the details for this pumpkin guts activity below! Don’t forget to share a picture of your child playing with it, on our Facebook wall! I wanna see how much they enjoy it! #gluedtomycrafts

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
