Our no-mess sensory play activity was another version of a mess-free indoor sensory play activity.
Spring Seek and Find
- gallon sized baggie
- gel
- food coloring
- Paper
- Stickers- we used Spring stickers
- Today we used some spring flowers that we had and stuck them inside a plastic bag.
- We filled it with aloe gel and some food coloring.
- There were matching stickers on a piece of paper so the kids had to seek and find the match.
Why make a Spring Seek and Find Sensory Bag?
Spring is a great time to get outside and explore the natural world with your senses. You can create your own spring sensory bags by filling them with different materials that will stimulate your senses, such as flower petals, leaves, or even some freshly cut grass.
These sensory bags can be a great way to encourage children to explore their surroundings and discover new things. You could also create a seek and find spring activity, where children have to search for certain items using their senses.
If you have a child who is a sensory seeker, creating a spring sensory bag could be a great way to provide them with the tactile and visual sensory input they crave.
The different textures of the materials inside the bag can help to regulate their sensory system and provide a calming effect. Pressing the bag through the fingers offers calming proprioceptive input through the joints of the hands.
Additionally, creating a spring look and find activity could be a fun way to engage them and provide them with an opportunity to explore their surroundings in a meaningful way.
Spring Sensory Bags
For an I spy sensory bag activity, you could fill a bag with various small objects, such as buttons or beads, and have children search for specific items using their senses.
This activity can be a fun way to develop children’s sensory skills and provide them with a fun and engaging learning experience.
Whether you’re looking to engage your senses or seek out new spring adventures, there are plenty of creative ways to make the most of this vibrant season. So why not grab a seek bag and get started today?
