Creepy Bacteria: A STEM Sensory Mix (PRE-ORDER)

from $9.00

Something creepy is growing! Inspired by the strange and fascinating world of bacteria, Creepy Bacteria brings the microscopic world to life through hands-on sensory play. Shades of eerie green, purple, and black combine with different shapes and textures inspired by the many forms bacteria can take.

Turn your sensory space into a microbiology lab and investigate, collect, sort, and compare your bacterial specimens, or introduce them to the Boo-Boo Collection as unwelcome invaders! Children can explore what happens when bacteria enter the body through damaged skin and begin imagining how our immune system responds. And when anatomy lessons are over, this creepy little culture is just as at home in Halloween potions, cauldrons, and spooky sensory play.

What’s Included

A hand-painted sensory mix featuring:

  • Purple round pieces inspired by cocci, or spherical bacteria

  • Bright green twisted pieces inspired by spiral-shaped bacteria

  • Black curved and spiral pieces inspired by spiral-shaped bacteria
