Indoor Sensory Play For Winter Months

Activities

SNOWFLAKE SENSORY BAG

• Hair gel (we used approximately 16 fl. ounces) • Snowflake buttons • Sequins • Duct tape (optional)

What you’ll need: • 1 zip top bag (2 if your child tends to be rough) • Blue food coloring

5. Place the “snowy” sensory bag on the table and let your child enjoy some mess-free sensory play!

What to do: 1. In all this takes about 5 minutes to put together, including locating all the materials. 2. Place the gel into the zip top bag with the food coloring. You can make the gel as light or dark as you want, but I would recommend staying on the lighter side or it can become difficult to see the buttons. 3. Duct tape the top closed if you desire. You can also double up the bag at this point. 4. Scatter the buttons and sequins into the bag being sure to get some gel in-between them or they will all stick together.

If you are worried that your child might squish too hard, you can also tape around the edges onto the table so that they cannot pick up the bag, but they can still enjoy playing with it.
