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!

    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.
