WHIMSICAL PAINT SENSORY BAG DIY

How cool is this sensory bag! It’s water based paint (Aka washable paint) and baby oil, jut liek a water and oil sensory bag but with a little extra magic! The two don’t mix, therefore making it look like the paint is floating around. The colors stay separate for a while but eventually do blend. Even when the paint itself blends, it never mixes with the oil so it’s a bag that can be fun for a while. I know these activities are meant for our little ones but mama has got to have a little fun too! Enjoy the process! Plus, this is a great sensory bag for babies during tummy time! Whip out some baby oil and water based paint and create a magical sensory activity for your little bundle of joy that will help develop their fine motors skills.

MATERIALS:

1. Freezer grade bags

2. Water based paint

3. Baby oil

4. Strong tape

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Open the bag so that you can easily squirt some paint inside.

2. Squirt the paint into the bottom of the bag.

3. Pour in the baby oil.

4. Close the bag leaving little to no air inside. Use tape to secure the zipper tight.

5. Lightly tap the paint around the bag and watch it glide.

Tip: If you think the bag might tear, add a layer of clear packing tape to the front and back of the bag so it is more resistant to those tiny nails.
