Squishy Sacks

Ah, good old snap lock bags. Use #2189: Holding cel-mix and colour for a non-messy sensory experience. Perfect for children who dont like getting there hands dirty.

I filled up some large snap lock bags with cel-mix, and let the children choose what we put inside. We ended up with glitter, blue food dye, green food dye, purple paint and orange paint.

The children mixed the colours into the cel-mix.
 (sorry about the blurry photo)

They used their fingers and hands to spread, smoosh, poke and squish the colour through the cel-mix


Upon asking the children what we should call this activity, it was announced that they would be called Squishy Sacks.


These 'Squishy Sacks' have provided the perfect opportunity for the children who dont like getting their hands dirty, to still participate in a squishy ooey gooey smooshy sensory activity.
We now have them laid out on one of our bigger tables with chairs in front of them and at the moment, its our most popular table!
A success.
