Description

Engaging sensory bags that stimulate curiosity and creativity in children through various textures and colors.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 strong resealable plastic bag (gallon-sized or quart-sized)
  • Clear hair gel or liquid soap (for squishy texture)
  • Various small items for filling (e.g., beads, buttons, sequins, glitter)
  • Food coloring (optional, for added visual effect)
  • Duct tape (to reinforce the bag edges if desired)
  • Scissors (for cutting if customizing bag size)
  • Optional small foam shapes or mini figurines

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bag: Start with a clean, strong resealable plastic bag. Ensure it’s free of any holes or damage. If desired, tape the zipper area for added security.
  2. Add the Base: Squeeze a generous amount of clear hair gel or liquid soap into the bag.
  3. Incorporate Colors and Textures: If using, add a few drops of food coloring. Begin adding your chosen small items—beads, sequins, and miniature figures.
  4. Seal and Test It: Press the air out of the bag gently and seal it tightly. Shake or squish to ensure it is well-mixed; check for leaks.

Notes

Experiment with different types of liquids and themes for variations and seasonal decor.
