Jakob LOOOOOVES the activities. So far, we've made sensory bags: *pic to follow, camera battery died!
Clean Soap:
Microwave a bar of Ivory soap for a minute on High. Watch in amazement as it expands and bubbles out. Marvel at the clean smell that permeates your kitchen.
This is what you get:
Tear up some toilet paper (we used a whole roll of Dollar Store stuff), into a container.
Have some fun while you're at it:
Add about two cups of water, and PLAY! Jakob had it all out on the floor, and made sculptures, a snowboard ramp, and pretended it was pizza dough, as he tried rolling it out with his tiny, new rolling pin!
Rainbow Rice:
Way better than sand, and he just goes crazy for all the colours!
We're waiting for our water beads to plump up:
Water beads are usually used in floral arrangements, but they're amazing for sensory activities. Jakob has been checking every hour as they're transforming from little pellets, to big plump beads. He says they're " beeeeeautiful", and is currently playing with two half-formed beads in the living room, pretending they're eggs waiting to hatch.
and I've got a ton of other activities just waiting for another day!
