SENSORY BAG: THE BASICS

Where it all started, the basic sensory bag!

Both my girls hated tummy time, it was usually the most dreadful time of the day. Thats when these easy to make, basic sensory bags made tummy time for babies so much easier! These are magic even till this day.

Since water and oil don’t mix, it’s really fun to move the color around for hours!

I love this basic version especially for those really little babies because the materials are all taste safe. If the bag happens to open, it’s ok!

MATERIALS:

1. Gallon Sized Freezer Bag

2. 2 Cups of Oil

3. 1/4 cup of water

4. Food Coloring

5. Tape

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Add the oil to the bag

2. Mix a couple drops of food coloring with the water and then add to the bag.

3. Close the bag taking out as much air as possible and tape it shut

4. Tape the bag to the floor or table so that the little ones don’t move it around.

Tip: This sensory bag is great for baby tummy time. It can also be modified by adding anything you want! Try hair gel and some colorful items like pom poms and you’re set!
