Spaghetti Sensory Bin Idea

Spaghetti Sensory Bin Idea {Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs}

Spaghetti Sensory Bin Idea {Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs}

I’m so excited to be sharing this Spaghetti Sensory Bin Idea that goes PERFECTLY with the childhood favorite book Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.

My son absolutely LOVED playing with this sensory bin and I loved it even more, because it was super easy and inexpensive to put together.

After grabbing some other supplies from our kitchen and throwing in some red plastic {most importantly – clearance} ornaments to represent the “meatballs” – we were well on our way to a fun learning and busy experience.

Besides the ornaments – you can also throw in other things like plastic fruit/veggies etc to really represent the story.

Then make a full afternoon of it, by reading the book and/or watching the movie, while your child plays. My son really loved being a chef and squeezing the noodles between his fingers. It was just plain ole simple fun!

Ready to learn how I did it? Read the easy step-by-step tutorial below and get ready for some fun!

Happy crafting, my friends! Be sure to FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK so you never miss a new tutorial from us! #gluedtomycrafts
