CANDY CANE HEART ❤️ SENSORY BAG

This was originally @celenakinsey ‘s idea and so easy to make ever since @travel.2.teach suggested adding a splash of water to the hair gel. 🙌🏻 It honestly made such a difference!

All I did was use an alcohol wipe to erase the branding on the Ziploc bag, drew two candy canes in the shape of a heart (permanent marker recommended), and added alternating red and green dots for B to match and manipulate the red pom poms over to them. Beads or sequins would have worked just as well (use what you have). I then added some hair gel and a splash of water, taped it down on both sides, and had a good 15-20 minutes of fun that B has played with at least twice today. Best part? She can come back to it again and again during the month of December 🤗 and although if FEELS messy, playing with it doesn’t even require a hand wash afterwards. 🖐 🤚 I also love that she’s simultaneously working on strengthening the muscles in her fingers (fine motor) while matching colors and working on AB patterns. Who said learning couldn’t be fun?!
