Easter Egg Sensory Bag Summary
Servings: 0
Ingredients
- Foam mini Easter eggs (available at dollar stores)
- Plastic ziplock bag (gallon size)
- Water
- Duct tape
- Surface to tape it to (such as the top of a sensory bin or storage container)
- Alcohol wipe
Instructions
- Prepare the Bag: Start by using an alcohol wipe to remove any labels or residue from the ziplock bag. This ensures that your sensory bag is clear and free from distractions.
- Fill the Bag: Add the mini foam Easter eggs into the bag. Pour in enough water to allow the eggs to move freely when the bag is sealed.
- Seal and Secure: Seal the bag tightly, pressing out as much air as possible to prevent any excess bulge. Use duct tape to securely attach the bag to your chosen surface, such as the lid of a sensory bin or a sturdy storage container. Make sure to tape the top of the bag as well to prevent any water from escaping.
- Enhance for Older Kids: For preschoolers, you can draw colored Easter eggs or Easter baskets on the outside of the bag with a permanent marker or Posca paint markers. Invite your child to sort the foam eggs by color, matching them to the drawn eggs, adding a layer of cognitive challenge to the activity.
