Sensory Ziploc Bag Ocean Theme

What kid doesn’t love something this squishy? This Ocean themed sensory bag is a perfect craft for summer!

Items needed:

• ·         Gallon-sized ziploc bag
• ·         Hair gel
• ·         Blue food coloring (optional)
• ·         Glitter
• ·         Sea animal toys
• ·         Packing tape

How to create your own:

·         Add the hair gel into the ziploc bag. We used hair gel that was already blue; you can add blue food coloring if you want to add more color to it.

·         Add glitter to the bag, along with the animal toys.

·         Seal the ziploc bag, removing as much air as possible. Use the packing tape to line the edges of the ziploc bag  as well as the seal part to prevent it from leaking.

·         Now, it’s time to enjoy your Ocean Sensory Bag! 

Other ideas to promote learning: 

Make three - four sensory bags and create different stations to highlight each type of sea animal you have in your bags. 

For example: Make one bag with turtles and then have the students learn about sea turtles.

There are so many sites online with great information for kids on animals,check out National Geographic's site on Sea Tutles:
