Cave Sensory Play for Preschoolers – Forest Animals Sensory Bin

How cool does a cave sensory play bin in the woods sound? This time of year, the woods are such a wonderful place to be. The leaves are changing, acorns and pinecones are surrounding you, and the smell of freshness is in the air. I decided to set up a little small world sensory play activity right in the middle of the woods.

Are you looking for an exciting new activity to keep your preschoolers engaged and entertained? Cave sensory play is a great way to bring the outdoors inside while sparking their imaginations. This unique experience will give them plenty of opportunities to explore, investigate, and learn—all while enjoying fun with their favorite animals!

With this Animals Sensory Bin, your young ones can explore their curiosity as they discover different textures, sort items by size or shape, listen for rustles in the leaves, and so much more!

Read on to find out how you can create this incredible cave-themed sensory play experience in your own home.

The cave set-up was easy. I used a standard under-the-bed bin from Walmart (I use this for most of our sensory bins – $7, which works perfectly). The cave section is a piece of cut cardboard laid across the top.

The inside is the shredded paper that came with our Caves and Caverns Toolbox from Montessori by Mom. I added in a few animals and the felt bats that came with the kit. I found the rocks lying around the woods and thought they were a perfect addition to this cave sensory bin.

It was a sensory delight in the woods, and the kids played for a long time. They loved the idea of a small world of sensory play outside. They love playing with animals, being outdoors, and sensory play. This was a win!

Our latest Cave Theme inspired this Cave Sensory Play.

Caves and Caverns has been a month-long unit for us, and it’s filled with exciting, educational, hands-on, Montessori-inspired activities.

This week, I will share more amazing activities about caves, caverns, and crystals. I can’t wait. It’s been such a great month!
