Toddler Activity: Sensory Paint Bags

 I am always on the look out for fun activities to do with my two toddlers.  Today I am doing sensory paint bags.  The idea is pretty simple.  You just put some paint in a ziploc bag, then you tape it to a surface and they can move and squish the paint around.



Once it is all secured let the fun begin!







This was a great activity to do.  They loved squishing all the paint around.  It was fun to look out and fun to feel for them.  It was a great sensory activity.
I really wish I would have thought of this as a preschool teacher.  This is an activity that will grow with them.  I was showing them shapes and letters.  Right now they didn't really have any idea what I was showing them, but someday they will.  Then maybe someday they will be able to draw their own shapes.  Also we tried to press some shaped into it.

This was a great activity.  I will definitely do this one again!

  4. That's so cool, and I like SEL's idea to put it on the window. I bet it would sort of look like stained glass. Crazy toddler stained glass.
