Setting up fun Halloween activities can be as simple as putting a pot on the stove. That’s the first step to creating this amazing Halloween Spaghetti Sensory Bin.
But for me, the best part about this activity is that it’s taste-safe. This means that it’s suitable for babies too (but please supervise, we don’t want any cute pumpkins choking).

Halloween is right around the corner and here are some spooky sensory activities for kids.
Be sure to check out this Witches Potion Sensory Bin. Your kids can mix spooky spiders and more into this bubbly green foam to make their own magical potion.
If you need a taste-safe option, then you can’t go past this Jello Eyeballs Sensory Bin. These eyeballs are really easy to make and kids just love watching them wobble all over the place.

How to make a Halloween Spaghetti Sensory Bin
Step 1: Cook your spaghetti according to the package directions.
Step 2: Place your drained spaghetti, vinegar, and food coloring into the ziplock bag, or container, and shake until the spaghetti is completely covered.

If your spaghetti isn’t as bright a color as you want, you can always add more food coloring until you get the shade you want.
If your spaghetti isn’t completely covered with color, in other words, only some of the spaghetti has turned orange, but not all. Then you can add more vinegar and food coloring and reshake the bag.
Vinegar helps the color to set, which means that it sticks to the spaghetti and not to your kids hands. (Or white towel in my case)
Step 3: Place your orange spaghetti onto your tub/tray and decorate with your Halloween props.
If you want to save time washing dishes, just use a plastic tub for both the color mixing and the playing. All you have to do is take off the lid, add in some toys and you’re all set.
