Infant Age – Paint in a Bag – a safe sensory activity
Directions: Take a sandwich bag that can be sealed and put 3-4 quarter size drops of different paint colors inside the middle of the bag. Seal the bag tightly to make sure that most of the air goes out. Place the bag where the infant can comfortably touch and move the ingredients inside.
*Option to line the outside of the bag with tape and tape the bag to the floor or other surface.
*If you do not have paint on hand you can also get creative with different liquids and objects. An alternative shown here is shower gel mixed with alphabet shapes.
