Instructions 

  • To make the first bag, add one color of acrylic paint to the inside of your bag.
  • Then, add some hair gel. The amount will depend on how big your bag is.
    For a larger bag, you can add 2/3 of a cup. For a smaller bag, 1/3 of a cup should be fine.
  • Next, remove the excess air from the bag and reinforce the zipper seal using packing tape. For extra protection, you can add tape around all the edges of the bag.
  • Once the bag is sealed, use your hands to mix and combine the hair gel and paint.
  • Little ones will enjoy using this bag to write letters and numbers, draw with their fingers, and more!
  • Begin making a similar sensory bag but use three different paint colors this time. Add the paint to the bag first.
  • Then, add the hair gel.
  • Now, mix it together after sealing the edges and enjoy!
  • Let’s make another bag by drawing three different colored circles in permanent marker on the bag.
  • Then, pour some beads into the bag.
  • Add some hair gel and remove the excess air from the bag.
  • Seal it up and your bag is ready to go!
  • For the next bag, add the hair gel first, followed by food coloring. Close the bag and mix together.
  • Pour some sequins into the bag.
  • Remove the excess air and seal the bag with tape.
  • Mix it together and it’s ready!
  • For the last bag, add pom poms and glitter first.
  • Then, add your hair gel, remove the excess air, and mix it all together. Have fun!

Notes

*The hair gel provides fluidity for the objects to be pushed around.
