How many of you remember those water snake wigglies (a clear
plastic tube filled with water and little toys)? Well, Kailynn was playing with
one a few days ago and was so frustrated that it kept falling. I was
determined to find a toy similar to the water wigglies that wasn’t so slippery.
My mission to find this toy was a total fail! But not to worry, Super Mom is
here! I decided to make one from scratch. I looked online to see if there were
any suggested instructions on how to make one at home. I came across a few and
to my surprise they’re referred to as sensory bags or squishy bags. The
instructions were pretty similar. The only major difference was what was put
inside the bag. Here is how Kailynn and I made our “squishy sensory bag”:
Supplies:
1- quart size plastic storage bag (Ziploc bag)
1- bottle of hair gel
Clear packaging tape
Beads or any other small toys
Step 1: Fill plastic bag with hair gel
Step 2: Put beads or toys into bag
Step 3: "Zip" plastic bag and wrap
with tape to strengthen it
That’s it! It’s pretty simple to make and everything can be
purchased at the dollar store if you don’t already have the items lying around
the house. Your little one can even help make it. Kailynn and I will surely be
making more soon!
