Today I tried some thing new with the children. I have not used this idea since nursery and its a real hit with babies and toddlers. Sensory gloves can be made up using just about any ingredients and tied at the top. For these ones we used:
- Peas,
- porridge and water,
- red and yellow ice,
- green corn flour and water,
- spaghetti.
The children loved this new activity, they spent ages trying to work out what was in each of the gloves. A especially like the one containing peas. She enjoyed picking them up individually and rolling them in between her fingers. Little man on the other hand liked stacking them up and swapping them over.
The porridge also proved a firm favourite.
The children started to use describing words such as cold, slimy, wet and squashy. This one was such a hit that we are going to try it again next week with different ingredients.
Please note that this activity must be supervised as it could be a potential choking hazard.
These look like such a good idea! I might try them out with the baby x
