Feeding Sharks Sensory Bag

This shark feeding sensory bag is tons of fun  for little hands! Made with super simple supplies, this sensory bag is perfect for shark week, or anytime your kids need some fin flipping fun!

I have quite a collection of blue, gray and blue gray paint samples in my kitchen junk drawer.  I love to paint. Walls, cabinets, boards, trim. Anything that requires no real thought nor detail is my jam so I am always grabbing samples of my preferred colors in hopes of finding a new project.

I finally found good use of some of the paint samples with this feeding sharks sensory bag. It wasn't too complicated to put together and my kids thought it was awesome. I hope your kids do too!

Supplies:
Hair gel
Scissors
Paint samples
A zipper seal sandwich bag
Water Beads




Directions:
Cut a shark from a grayish blue paint sample. Make sure the shark has an open mouth!
Cut a few assorted sized fish from any other color paint samples.


Fill a zipper seal sandwich bag with hair gel.


Add a generous amount of glitter to the bag.



Add a few water beads to the bag. 


Add the shark to the bag, and the fish too.


Close the bag and offer it to your child. Encourage the child to feed the shark the fish.


This is a fun quiet time activity for toddlers and preschoolers. If your kids don't have "nice hands" you can reinforce the edges with duct tape to prevent any accidental bag busting that could occur.
