Sensory Activities the Kids will Love
Looking for easy-to-make crafts that are packed with sensory experiences? Check out these imaginative ideas — from edible finger paint to silly putty and playdough.

In this fun experiment, add a little bit of dish soap to the milk and food coloring, and swirl the colors around to form artistic and abstract paintings.
Create this easy finger paint by mixing whipped cream (or vanilla pudding) and food coloring. In no time, the kids will be off creating their temporary masterpieces.
It's time to get squeezing and stretching! This silly putty is super easy to make and much cheaper than buying it premade from the store.
Sensory bins allow kids to develop skills in a variety of areas, from fine motor skills to problem solving. Try one, they'll love it!
Here's a fun sensory activity that will keep the kids occupied for hours. Similar to wet sand, kinetic sand can be molded into different shapes and won't dry out. Add color for a more unique experience.
On a Jello base, kids can use “Jello paint” to paint designs and then eat their artwork.
Kids can create fun (and delicious!) grape sculptures using toothpicks to hold their shape. Great with marshmallows too!
