Becca, from Yorkshire dales., sent in this great idea. Let’s take a look at it…
What did you do?
Sensory bags for babies and toddlers is such a simple activity that anyone can make. You will need:
Zip lock bags,
Paint/ Water/ Oil,
We also added small toys, letters, numbers to be moved round.
Bag one: We used green glitter paint in a zip lock bag and small fish to be moved around the bag. Brilliant for hand eye coordination.
Bag two: Water, oil and food colouring.
These were then put down to be explored, you could tape them to windows to encourage standing in younger children.
These we a big hit with both my children ages 1 and 3.
Do you have any other projects planned?
Play dough play station..

How are you finding being housebound so far?
I’ve actually really enjoyed spending extra time with my children enjoying a slower pace of life.
Do you have any tips for other parents?
Don’t worry about the mess and just enjoy making memories with your children.
Has this website and community helped you?
I love seeing lots of different ideas.
