We have been exploring different sensory bags lately and I decided to put together a Frozen themed/inspired sensory bag for Little N.

I used blue hair gel to fill the bag. Hair gel is my personal favorite sensory bag filler. It is so therapeutic squishing and squashing the bag, watching the items glide through the cold gel. The smell lingers too so adds to the sensory experience even more.

Inside the gel I added
- Curling Ribbon - cut into small squares
- Silver Glitter
- Blue Pony Beads
- Confetti Snowflakes

 As young as she is Little N joins the rest of the world and is a huge Frozen Fan. This has been her favourite sensory bag to date. She was drawn to the pong beads and kept pushing them around with her finger.

























She held the bag up into the air. Slowly the snowflakes began moving down to the bottom of the bag.
























Little N also explored them on the window. They always look very effective up against the light of outside.

 The Frozen Sensory Bag looked great on our home made light table too!

We have been getting creative with Snowflake Play dough today.
Using our simple homemade playdough recipe we created sky blue dough, perfect for this activity.
I put out a range of tools and decorations to get creative.

The invitation for play looked like this:





















Little N was eager to get started and began by using some of the tools to begin with.




She enjoyed using the wheel and went back and forth creating wavy patterns in the dough. She picked up an imprinting tool and pushed down hard to create lots of square dots. She then set about rolling out some new dough to create another snowflake.



She started to explore the decorations and began adding lots of textured, sparkly crafts to the snowflakes. They looked great and she was so engrossed when doing this.



Here is a selection of the snowflakes Little N has been busy making today (yes I did have a go at making one too - I couldn't resist!).
