Apple Pie Themed Sensory Bin For Fall Celebrations!
Today we are kick-starting the theme of Thanksgiving off on the blog, with this EASY Apple Pie Themed Sensory Bin.
As you may know – sensory bins are one of my favorite things to pull together lately for my son. Apple pie happens to be one of my favorite things to make {and eat} on Thanksgiving day, so it only seemed fitting for the season.
The supplies for this apple themed bin are pretty inexpensive and of course – super easy to pull together. Best part – it’s fun, has a learning aspect AND it’s calorie free too!
