This snowflake sensory bag was so easy to make that now I want to make them with all sorts of themes! You can put this simple activity together in around two minutes and even better it’s easily adaptable for different ages, so although it looks like mess free sensory play for babies, my son who is nearly six also enjoyed playing with it and actually you can use it for simple maths activities too!
