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 is 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.

Cave Sensory Play in the Woods – Forest Animals Sensory Bin

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 and works perfectly). The cave section is a piece of cut cardboard laid across the top. The inside is actually the shredded paper that came with our Caves and Caverns Toolbox from Montessori by Mom. I added in a few animals (wooden animals) and the felt bats that came with the kit. The rocks I found laying 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 sensory play outside. They love playing with animals, love being outside, and love sensory play. This was definitely a win!

This Cave Sensory Play was inspired by our latest toolbox from Montessori by Mom.

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

I will be sharing more amazing activities about caves, caverns, and crystals this week. I can’t wait. Its been such a great month!
