These interactive sensory boxes are perfect for Halloween parties. Fill them with common household items disguised as ghoulish body parts, then guide children through a spooky story as they feel each mystery item. It's a fun and slightly scary activity that builds excitement without being too terrifying.
Directions
- Choose a container such as a tissue box, a small mailing box, or a shoe box.
- If using a shoe box, cut a hand-sized opening in the lid and secure the lid with tape.
- For other boxes, tape a piece of construction paper or fabric over the top to block the view inside.
- Line the inside with a plastic bag if you plan to include wet items like cooked spaghetti to avoid leaks.
- Place a spooky object in each box—for example, cooked spaghetti stands in for worms, and peeled grapes mimic eyeballs.
- If you like, cover the boxes with Halloween-themed wrapping paper for extra festivity.
- Prepare a creepy story that describes each item as something frightening, such as 'veins' or 'eyeballs,' to tell as you pass the boxes around.
- Act as the host: get into character, hand each box around, and let children feel the contents without peeking. Encourage hesitant kids gently, but never force them.
