Baby Oil and Food Coloring Sensory Bag

This was super easy to make and it smells so good.

What you will need.

Baby Oil

Food Coloring

Baggy \

Duct Tape

What to do

Put the Baby oil into the bag. Then put the food coloring in. Now get all the air out of the bag and then 

close it and duct tape the top. All done now the kids can play with it.

Be careful as it may leak and make sure they don't ingest it.

What it does 

So the baby oil will not mix with the food coloring so it's kind of like a lava lamp.

cooked Noodle Sensory Bag

Today we worked on colors and squishy.

Eli loved stepping on these. He also loved to throw them out of the bin and throwing them back into it. 

When he started to get a little bored with it I gave him a old bucket that was once used for cotton candy. He then started stacking the bags on top of each other and throwing the bags into the bucket.

What I used.

noodles ( I got mine form Dollar Tree but you an get them even cheaper with coupons )

food coloring 

plastic bags 

duct tape.

Step to making this awesome bag.

1. Cook the noodles like you would any other time. Make sure to put a little oil in it so they don't get sticky.
2. Put equal amounts of noodles into your bags ( 1 bag for each color )

3. Put the food coloring in.
4  Close and get out as much air as you can

5. Duct tape the tops to keep the bags from opening.

6. Give to the kids to mix the color in :)

What we ended up with.

This is how I duct taped the tops

Sorry for the mess in the back ground. We haven't cleaned up yet from playing today.

Squishy

Putting them into the bucket

Now he's dumping the bucket back out

Sorry for the bad pis it's super hard to get a good pic of Eli (14 months) due to him moving so much.

After all that playing he was ready for a healthy snack

 playcreateexplore did some noodle play also but hers is a little different. If you would like to see what she did  here is the link

Yellow Sensory Bag

This was super easy to make and the boys (14 month and 10 years) had alot of fun playing with atleast until one of the bags popped.

What you will need.
Shaving cream ( We used Dollar Tree )
food coloring
plastic bag ( again we used Dollar Tree )
Duct tape

I put a little bit of shaving cream into my bag. Make sure to leave a little room so when you get all the air out it doesn't come out the top. After you add the shaving cream put a couple drops of food coloring I used 5-6 drops. Then you need to get all the air out of the bag and close it up. I used duct taped on the top to keep it from coming out. I put Eli (14 month) Into his play bin and gave him the bag to mix the dye up with the shaving cream.

I'll let the pics speak for themselves..
I was helping Ray with his and also getting the bath ready so I didn't get alot of pics :(
I loved this and I'm going to get bigger and thicker bags for more of these bags.

Color weeks.. Yellow Week

So to help Eli (14 months) learn his colors I have started doing a new color each week. This week we are doing yellow we've had color baths and pointed out the color yellow everywhere. I was so proud yesterday when he picked up a yellow letter and said yellow.

This is my first themed bath and I can't wait to keep doing them.

This was on 3/14/2013 but I forgot to take a pic of the one they took last night.

Last night we made a sensory bag with shaving cream and food coloring.

I'll do a post showing how we made them.

We also made colored rice today :)

I'll update tomorrow with tonight and tomorrows bath.


Update we ended Yellow week on Saturday 3/17/2013 and I forgot to take a pic of the last bath sorry
