    Easy rainbow sensory bag

    March 13, 2020 - By 

    My children have always enjoyed sensory activities, the ones which allow them to use touch, taste or smells have always worked well with them. This is a lovely quick activity if you are looking for a quick, indoor boredom buster. It takes minutes to set up and is easily enjoyed by a wide age range. Even better it’s a mess-free activity for toddlers which is great for celebrating St Patrick’s Day too!

    I think celebrations on St Patrick’s Day are going to be pretty subdued this year, thanks to the outbreak of Covid-19. St Patrick’s Day parades are being cancelled across Ireland, although it looks like the St Patricks’s Day parade taking place in London this weekend is still going ahead. You can still celebrate St Patricks’ Day at home and kids will love this easy Leprechaun paper plate craft.

    It’s not long until we celebrate St Patrick’s Day. I’ve been trying to think of small ways to celebrate at home and came up with some delicious St Patrick’s Day Brownie Bites. I’m all in favour of a quick bake so used a shop bought packet mix as the base of these. You can make them in a mini muffin pan or in a brownie tray and cut them into small bites.

    I love celebrating St Patricks’ Day. It’s such a lovely, colourful celebration after the drab months of Winter. As we walked to karate this evening we were all amazed by the colours in the sky. It was so lovely to walk in the twilight and we’re counting down the days until the clocks spring forward next month. After the success of our Nativity lacing paper plate craft we are back with another lacing craft. These are great for honing those fine motor skills and who doesn’t love a rainbow too!

    Do you ever wonder how you’ve ended up with so many craft supplies? The house is full so we have been trying hard to use some up lately, especially as the snowy weather has kept us inside. Everything has been very pretty but WHITE. To bring some colour into our life we had fun with a large box of ready made pom poms. The children have been using them for all sorts of things – mainly covering their Sylvanian Families play scenes in snow! I thought I could keep them busy by getting them to sort the colours and making…
