My kiddos LOVE pumpkins! Cannot stop talking about them! So I always try to find as many creative combinations of pumpkin sensory tables as possible.
Here is a super simple and so very midwestern pumpkin sensory table 😉
Note of caution: if any kiddos (or you) have allergies you may not want to do this one! At toddler age you may not know they have allergies yet – if they get really stuffy around harvest time its very possible they would get stuffy after playing with this.
I will be posting soon an alternative to this that still uses the pumpkins but is much more allergy friendly 🙂
They went straight for the pumpkins first…
…the prickly hay took some warming up.
“Hay! Hay hay hay hay!” “Yes, friend it’s hay” 😀
On the ground it goes…and they followed 😀
Once they really got into it, the hay started flying!
This next picture looks like the kid on the right is moving the hay with his mind…so magical 😀
You can also add some corn either full cob or kernels for fine motor skills, add gourds, acorns or leaves etc. Anything harvest related to dress it up 🙂 You could also take it outside and not have to worry about clean up 😉
I have also paired this activity with our letter H week and done Hay is for Horses! It definitely looked like a barn afterwards lol
You can tell they enjoyed it 🙂
