The balloons!

Sensory Balloons!!
Happy New Year Friends!!! This month we are kicking off 2012 by learning about our bodies. In January we will explore the five senses, body parts, and how to keep our bodies healthy! This week we will start talking about "touch" and "smell."A simple activity to explore "touch" is Sensory Balloons!! I gathered some balloons and used a household item to fill each one. For example you could use dry beans, coffee grounds, hair gel, flour, baby powder, rice, water, etc. The great thing about the coffee beans and baby powder is that they smell! So this is a great way to tie these two senses together in one activity.

I've tried this before and my son loved it but your contents are much more interesting than mine were. I bet hair gel felt great. And you are right, baby powered would smell lovely - might give it another go with some of your ingredients.
