DIY Sensory Play-Mat
DIY sensory play-mats are one of the easiest ways to both get creative and save money using what you already have in your kitchen! These DIY play-mats are great for tummy time for a baby and also a lot of fun for a toddler who wants to make a (contained) mess! Take a look around your kitchen and you will be amazed at all of the fun things you can find! Coffee beans, rice, Jell-O, hard boiled eggs with the shells off, pasta, grapes, peas, the list goes on and on. Toddlers will feel empowered to choose what they want to use and also might sneak in an extra snack!
Supplies:
- Ziploc bag (bigger the better)
- Large straws
- Tape
- Water (optional but encouraged!)
Directions:
- Place straws into the Ziploc bag, filling no more than half of the bag
- Optional to add water, filling no more than half of the bag
- Zip bag shut, releasing any extra air
- Tape bag shut
- Tape the bag to the floor for tummy time or for toddler hands and feet to explore!
