Sensory bags-


 It's important to get your children to use their hands and start experiencing the world around them. A quick and cheap way to do that is by creating sensory bags at home. First look through your pantry, craft cabinets, and beauty supplies. Grab 4-5 plastic bags with a zipper seal. Fill the bags with some different textures items. A few samples are dried beans, cotton balls, child safe paint, sand, and marbles. Hold the bags with your child and discuss the feeling. For example say, "this is paint, it is squishy". Please make sure to never leave your child unattended with the bags as they could be a choking hazard.
