Easy Alphabet Acorn Sensory Bin for Kids

by Leave a Comment

When you want to keep preschoolers engaged in a lesson for more than…three minutes or so, sensory bins are the answer!

Every time I’ve put a sensory bin together, I’ve had to practically drag my early learners away from it.

There’s just something about having so many different textures and colors to explore that keeps little ones interested.

And that makes sensory bins a wonderful medium for introducing early literacy skills – like in this alphabet acorn sensory bin!

Easy Acorn Sensory Bin for Kids

This is such an easy, low-prep, and engaging literacy activity for autumn!

And it doesn’t make a mess, so you won’t have to clean anything up afterwards. Win!

Read on to see how to put this fall sensory bin together yourself.

And, for more fun with fall letters, take a look at our easy Name Acorn Necklace Craft!

Use this alphabet acorn sensory bin for some fun sensory play and letter recognition practice during fall!

Easy Alphabet Acorn Sensory Bin for Kids

To assemble this alphabet acorn sensory bin, you’ll need the following: (This post contains affiliate links. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

  • Container (I used a straw basket I already had, but a clear shoebox or a bin is fine too)
  • Acorns (Real acorns are the best, but I used these artificial acorns since we don’t have an oak tree nearby. This bin uses about three bags.)
  • Colored artificial leaves (Our bin uses these colorful acrylic leaves and acorns.)
  • Fall-themed foam pieces (This foam bead harvest mix with leaves, scarecrows, pumpkins, and candy corn is what I used.)
  • Printable Acorn Alphabet Cards (available in this post)
Simple Acorn Sensory Bin for Kids

To start, print out the acorn alphabet cards and laminate them.

You’ll need them to stand up to frequent use by little hands.

Then fill the bin with acorns.

Mix in the colored leaves and acorns, as well as the fall-themed foam beads.

Letter Acorn Themed Sensory Bin

Finally, add a few of the acorn alphabet cards.

You don’t want to put them all in at once, because you want the letters to be part of the acorn sensory bin, not the entire focus.

Using an Alphabet Acorn Sensory Bin

One way to use them is to add in pairs of uppercase and lowercase letters (capital A and lowercase A, for example).

Then students can talk about the difference between the letters.

Or you can have a quick find the matching letter activity by picking up the capital letter and asking kids to find its lowercase mate.

Using an Alphabet Sensory Bin with Kids

Be sure to talk about the different textures, colors, and shapes of each item they pick up.

Learning to spell his or her own name is such a big step for early learners!

As we’re teaching our youngest child to write cursive, even she’s in a hurry to get to all the letters in her name.

There’s no feeling quite like seeing your own name in print.

For a fun fall literacy lesson, I thought it would be cool to make a name building activity – this Name Acorn Necklace Craft!

Printable Acorn Alphabet Cards

Start by printing out the Acorn Alphabet Cards. You can get them as a free direct download at the bottom of the post.

I like to laminate them before cutting them out. That way, they hold up to the hole punch better.

How to Make a Name Acorn Necklace Craft

Once you’ve printed the cards you need for the child’s name (you may need to print more than one copy), you’re ready to get started.

Making a Name Acorn Necklace

Simply use a hole punch to place a hole at the top of each card.

I like to punch the hole in the top center, so that the cards don’t tilt to one side when worn.

Putting a Name Acorn Necklace Craft Together

Then just string the yarn through each hole. Little ones love this step!

We used a weaving motion so that the cards wouldn’t all flop onto each other when work on the necklace.

Easy Name Acorn Necklace Craft for Kids

Ta-da!

Wearing an Acorn Name Necklace

They’re ready to wear!

This would make a fantastic first day of school activity for students to get to know one another.

(And it’d help you remember everyone’s name too!)

Like many families, our children are learning at home this school year – even our high schooler.

I’m thrilled to have her home with me again, but I’m also concerned about keeping her safe and focused on her schoolwork.

Have you been feeling the same way about your family this year?

Trust me, I get it.

We need to keep our kids healthy but we also need them to pay attention in class and keep up with their schoolwork as well as possible.

How to Set Up A Simple Distance Learning Station Safely

Since I’ve been working from home for years, I know it’s important to have a dedicated workspace. The same is true for our kids who are learning at home.

But, with four children in the family, we don’t have a lot of extra space in our home.

And, since our daughter needs to use materials provided by the school district, I was concerned about keeping the home free of any germs that might come in.

So I’m sharing a few tips to help you set up a simple and safe DIY distance learning schoolwork station this year! I hope these ideas help you make the most of your learning space for your kids too!

How to Set Up A Simple and Safe Distance Learning Station for Your Kids This School Year

How to Set Up A Simple and Safe Distance Learning Station

When the school district announced all students would be learning virtually this year, my first concern was helping our sophomore adjust to taking her high school courses online.

Then I found out she would need to use a district-issued laptop, along with district-issued materials. Which is when I started to worry about picking up harmful germs too.

Simple Distance Learning Station for Kids

So I was immensely relieved to get my hands on Arm and Hammer™ Essentials™ Disinfecting Wipes.

These disinfecting wipes are available in two different scents: Lemon Orchard and Renewing Rain. And they’re ready to go right out of the package.

How to Sanitize A Distance Learning Station

The Arm and Hammer™ Disinfecting Wipes are thick, cushiony wipes that you can use on almost every hard surface in your house.

You can even use them to wipe down electronics, as long as you squeeze the excess moisture out first.

No more worries about that germy school laptop!

Simple and Safe DIY Distance Learning Spot for Kids

Even better, Arm and Hammer™ Essentials™ Disinfecting Wipes are 99.9% effective at killing viruses and bacteria, including human Coronavirus, MRSA, Strep, E.Coli, and Salmonella. And they manage to work that well cleaning without harsh chemicals.

Which was an enormous relief to me as a mom.

Setting Up and Cleaning A Distance Learning Station for Kids

We found a simple student desk that would fit in our daughter’s room and I wiped the entire thing down with Arm and Hammer™ Disinfecting Wipes.

I also wiped down the district materials and the laptop. Then it was time to add a few decorating touches.

Easy DIY Distance Learning Schoolwork Center for Kids

We printed a poster with an encouraging scripture for the wall and added a cute corkboard. She keeps thoughtful cards from her friends on it, along with her school year calendar.

Hopefully, those little spots of positivity will keep her going on school days that don’t go so well.

And we’re ready to go for the school year!

If you decide to set up a distance learning station in your home, I’d love to hear how it goes!

Acorns Alike! Acorn Same or Different Worksheets

by Leave a Comment

Until a couple of years ago, we had a massive oak tree in our front yard.

And I mean – massive.

Every year, the yard would be covered with fallen oak leaves and acorns.

Walking through the yard, the kids would always pick up the acorns and play with them.

We noticed that acorns look the same from far away. But when you examine them up close, you can see differences in them – colors, shapes, weight, and sizes.

So I thought acorns would make another excellent theme for visual discrimination in these acorn same or different worksheets!

Simple Acorn Same or Different Worksheets for Kids

This same or different activity is an excellent resource for early fall centers! Or you could use them as a one-time lesson with no prep at all.

Read on to see how to get your set.

Apple Harvest! Apple Cutting Practice Worksheets

Working with cutting practice can be a little bit boring for little ones.

After all, what’s fun about just tracing lines up and down a page with a pair of scissors?
