Sensory Bags

It's been a few days since I posted. Our youngest daughter decided to do ballet on top of a glass coffee table on Saturday. Doesn't sound like a smart idea does it? Well, it wasn't. 6 stitches, and a few days later she is feeling much better. I went to bed that night thanking God over and over again for His love and grace by protecting her during the accident. The table didn't shatter, but instead broke into huge shards, and the way that she fell, a large piece just barely missed going through her abdomen. He is soo good isn't He? While it wasn't the way I had planned on spending our Saturday, He was faithful and watching over us through it all.

I wanted to share with you all some of our latest sensory creations. Our kiddos are currently in love with sensory bags.

Just simply fill them with something "squishy" - I used hair gel, lotion, shampoo, and paint. You can use whatever you have around the house. Put it in a ziploc bag - fold over the top part and tape it. Then put that ziploc bag inside another ziplog bag, fold over again, tape shut. Then as a last precaution against any disasters - tape all the way around the seems of the bag.

You can also add marbles, or foam animals and letters to the bags. One of ours has glow in the dark stars.

They also work great on the light table.

This is a perfect rainy day, hot day, or any day activity to do with children of all ages!

The paint bags are great for writing practice as well. We use these almost daily with the twins to practice writing letters that are in their name. Our 1st grader likes to use them to write her spelling words too.

Hope you all are having a great day!
Blessings,
