In reply to Tia. Your summer sensory bag sounds great!

Thank you for this fun idea! I mean, I know about sensory bags for learning in the classroom and teaching adjectives. However, I never thought about it for a fun summer activity! I’ve been trying to figure out ways to engage my younger sister, as well as motivate her into doing some studying this summer. I found this post on ‘Hands On As We Grow’ fyi.
We did a Summer-Themed Sensory Bag (because it’s summer and we live near the beach) with oil, food colouring, sand and seashells, a sun (foam cut-out) and seaweed (yarn)! It was cool and she loved it! Tomorrow, we’re doing the lava lamp! So I figure, I’ll let her do some fun activities and then learn the times tables afterwards.
Thank you again for really easy, fun and cost-effective activities!

I saw this post tonight and thought of my almost 10 month old daughter immediatly. She loves to stand at our glass door and look into the back yard, so I made a few of these and taped them up on the glass for her to find in the morning. She is going to love them! Slight change though, because I didn’t have hair gel and my little is asleep, I used Karo syrup and a couple of squirts of paint. Looks great! Feels nice and smooshy!

In reply to Ann Dwan. A spider and spider web would be very cool, Ann! I'll have to keep that idea in mind!

These are great! I used hair gel in baggies to practice sight words in Kindergarten – they feel very nice to write on with a finger! Making them into little Fall Sensory activities is a wonderful idea!

What a fun idea! I’ve used hair gel in sensory bottles for density but never thought to put it in baggies and strap it to a window 🙂 Looking forward to trying it.
