The first step is to take any kind of container you have and fill it up with the mixture of popcorn kernels.

Add all your fall items into the container. You can gather natural items such as

Acorns

a variety of nuts

small branches

cinnamon sticks

or pick up a few fall items from the craft store as you see here. We’ve made fall sensory bins with both natural items and store bought in the past.

Next, bury some and leave some on top.
