Sensory bags are such a fun, easy way to keep my kids entertained for an afternoon. So knowing that glitter makes everything more fun, the kids and I recently created our own super sparkly sensory bags. These bags were a huge hit with my kids. And I love that they provide some pretty mess-free fun!
Note: This and other sensory play ideas can be found on my sensory play page.
For this particular activity, I gathered up some quart sized freezer bags, blue hair gel from the dollar store, glitter, and two kinds of beads.
I invited the kids to help squeeze the gel into the bags. They always get such a kick out of getting to do this.
Love that you used hair gel, I bet these bags are super fun to mush (and my girls would love to squirt the gel in the bag too! Thanks for sharing on We Made That!
I love these super sparkly sensory bags! Thanks for sharing this fun idea with us. 🙂

Hair gel is a great idea. These bags look perfect for little hands to play and feel. (visiting via Hobbies & Handicrafts)
Love your blog, just found you from a linky. A tip I got from another blog to get the printing off of a plastic bag is to moisten a cloth or paper towel with nail polish remover and the printing comes right off.
Great tip, I will have to try that! Thanks!
Oh, what fun!! We may have to make one of those. Thank you for sharing at Sharing Saturday!!
