Make Your Own Sensory Bag

Today I wanted to share an easy way to make a sensory bag with items at home or you can simply find in the dollar store!

You will need: -Plastic Bags – Hair Gel – Tape EX: painters tape – Objects

  1. Open and squeeze hair gel into bag. The bag size will determine how much gel you use. A large bag does not need an entire bottle, but fill as you please.
  2. Drop objects into bag. I like the small pompom balls. They are colorful, soft, and won’t poke holes in the baggie.
  3. Seal the bag
  4. You can double bag if you feel it is safest for your child (items and gel dont come out as easily)
  5. Tape around all the sides of the bag; as if it is a border or frame. I do this a few times.
  6. Have Fun!

*** I recommend not having objects/ items around that could damage the baggie easily. They will eventually ware down like anything would and you should throw out and make a new one. Do not allow your child to eat gel or objects**

BONUS- you can also add in printed paper or coloring sheet inside the bag for a background.
