Sensory play

My kids love some good old fashion sensory play. My 3 year old is a sensory-seeker, so getting her hands dirty is actually good for her.  Here are a few of our favorite sensory activities:

Spaghetti Painting:





                                                 Oobleck

Oobleck Recipe:
2 cups of corn starch
1 Cup of water (mix in slowly)
2-3 drops of food coloring (optional)
Mix all ingredients together and enjoy!
                                                                  

Rice sensory Bin: add spoons, cups and toys


Colored ice cubes


Rainbow Rice Bin: add spoons, shovels and little toys for the kiddos to find.

                                                          Rainbow Rice: 
 Put rice in a Ziploc bag and add 2 TBS of rubbing alcohol and several drops of food coloring. Shake the bag to mix the color. Spread the rice on a cookie sheet to dry.
