Rainy day + baby = the perfect excuse for a little sensory play! đ§ď¸
You can make this super simple sensory bag activity at home with just baby oil, food coloring, a Ziploc bag, and packing tape.
Add a little baby oil and a few drops of food coloring to the bag, seal it tightly, and then use packing tape around the entire opening to help prevent leaks. Then let your baby squish, pat, push, and explore!
This kind of sensory activity gives your baby a chance to:
⨠Explore cause and effect
⨠Practice reaching and grasping
⨠Engage their senses
⨠Strengthen early problem-solving skills
⨠Support developing brain connections
And the best part? You donât need fancy toys or a playroom full of supplies to create an engaging learning experience.
Sometimes the simplest activities are the best ones, especially when youâre stuck inside on a rainy day!
