Kid Friendly Pumpkin Guts – Sensory Bin Idea For Halloween
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

My kids love this craft. I actually used yarn for my guts. I cannot get myself to use food in my class it’s a personal thing, although I did give in and use the seeds which is a big thing for me, lol. My friend used rubber strings in hers the kids loved it and it stayed out till Thanksgiving. Just love your ideas.
