Cupcake Sensory Craft

Get ready for the ultimate sensory experience! For today's activity, we're teaming up with the Crafty Moms to create a kids sensory craft. This is a great mess-free activity that both little ones and older kids will enjoy. For this sensory activity, they'll be creating a color match cupcake sensory bag. Sensory bags allow children to explore, create, imagine and learn while engaging many of their senses. Make sure you tune in to the kidpik Instagram or Tik Tok account on Friday, April 16th at 3 pm EST for the DIY event.  

There are so many benefits for your little ones to gain from sensory play. Research shows that a sensory play activity promotes fine and gross motor skills, language development, cognitive growth, and more! The best part is that the sensory activities are so much fun, your kid will always be excited to play! 

We're always looking for new sensory play ideas. Working on this sensory craft is a great way to fine-tune your little one's fine motor skills. A great idea is to keep a sensory bin in your toy room. Fill it with activities that promote sensory fun! We recommend filling your sensory bin with kinetic sand, shaving foam or shaving cream, playdough, pom-pom's, cloud dough, and this sensory bag craft! If the sensory bin idea doesn't work for you, we recommend a sensory table for your active preschooler.  

Here's what you'll need: 

• Ziploc bag 
• Hair gel and water 

• Beans 
• Sharpies 
• Nail polish 
• Tape  

Total time: 20 mins
