I wanted to use things I already had at home. I went through my craft stuff and found some fuzzy sparkle puffs, glitter, and some star beads. I was going to use some cheap hair gel for the liquid part, but we didn't have any and I didn't want to buy that. We had one of those jumbo soap refill jugs that was clear and I really didn't like the scent of it anyway so I used that! Carson loves playing with this, but I make sure I'm always with him in case it happens to bust open. I reinforced it with packaging tape, but you never know what his razor claws could cut through! :)
Note: I think the gallon size is great for older kids, but next time I make one of these I'll probably just do a sandwich bag or quart size baggie!
Make sure to head on over and link-up with the girls!
So fun! I've seen these on Pinterest, too. I'll have to remember them for the future.

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea, I will have to try this with my niece and nephew! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI may have to try this for the Hal-meister although I'm sure it will go straight into the mouth! I saw something similar on Pinterest for when she gets a little older. You make these types of bags with glitter and such in it and they can practice making shapes, letters and numbers in them!
ReplyDeleteThese are GENIUS! I dont have any babies (yet!) but this is great!!
