{new} activity shelves...

We moved this baker's rack to the basement a while back when we got a hutch in the kitchen. It has been housing part of our M&M collection....until now! I decided to pair down the collection a bit and take over this unit for school stuff!

The bottom of the rack now holds our activity trays....

The 1st shelf has a tray with pumpkin erasers that are transfered to the pumpkin ice cube tray with chop sticks; a counting tray.

The 2nd shelf has a basket with pouches/containers to open and close; peg game {from Dollar Tree}; treasure box.

The 3rd shelf has basket w/bean bags; fall sensory box; 3 drawer unit {see what's inside below}; 5 little pumpkins tray{I drew faces on the pumpkins to coordinate with the ones from the story 5 Little Pumpkins. Little Bit puts them in the right order as I read the story}.

Inside the 3 drawer unit...1st drawer has pipe cleaners and beads; 2nd drawer is another sensory bin with rice, spiders, pumpkin containers and 2 spoons; 3rd drawer is stringing leaves onto a ribbon {saw the idea here}.

Here is a look at what's in our fall sensory bin...small basket, scoop, tongs, pine cones, silk leaves, mini pumpkins, colorful crystals.

Since the top 2 shelves are high, I decided to just decorate them to go along with whatever season/holiday we are celebrating. So for fall, I spelled out the word LEARN with scrabble letters and placed it on top of a few Dr. Seuss books. Next to that is a small orange colander filled with pine cones. The top shelf has 2 bird cages {from Michaels $1 bin} and some pumpkins.
