Sensory Art Class #6 Halloween

Tuesday, October 31, 2017

 Sensory art class #6  happened to fall on Halloween, we did pumpkins the week before so that the kids could have them for decoration. I came up with a few fun and not too spooky Halloween activities! I have the least amount of pictures this week because I was busy helping the mad scientists! 

Black beans in the sensory bin with fake spider webbing, fake spiders, and other plastic bugs. I gave the kids tongs and had them try to rescue the bugs from the spiders webs. 

We used white crayons to make webs on watercolor paper and then went over the crayon pictures with a Kool aid wash. A packet of Kool aid mixed with a little bit of water makes the best sensory liquid watercolors! We also had salt for sprinkling onto our wet watercolor pictures. 

At the Mad Scientist station I covered some trays with baking soda, sprinkled a few drops of food coloring around the surface, and then covered it with more baking soda. I gave the kids cups of vinegar and pipettes and then dripped the vinegar on. They LOVED it. There were a lots of kids who stayed at this station for the full hour. That is saying a lot for 2-5 year olds! 

At the Play doh station I set out colored Play doh, google eyes, and cut pipe cleaners for the kids to make their own monsters! 

Sensory Art Class #5 Pumpkins

Tuesday, October 24, 2017






This week at Sensory Art class we glued tissue paper squares onto foam pumpkins... 

 At the play doh station, I set out red and yellow play doh for the kids to mix to make orange and then they added google eyes and beads to make faces on their play doh pumpkins...




In the sensory bin we brought back the water beads but this time I also added some orange jumbo water beads because I thought they looked like pumpkins... 





Sensory Art Class #4 Noodles

Tuesday, October 17, 2017

This weeks Sensory Art Class might have been our messiest yet! Noodles are super sticky! 
But exploring noodles was oh so fun! 

Here are a few of the types of pasta that we used! 


For the play doh station I just put out random noodles and balls of play doh and let the kiddos figure out what to do with it on their own!

Sensory Art Class #2 Color Mixing

Tuesday, October 3, 2017

Our second Sensory Art Class theme was Color Mixing! 


At the Play doh table we had these laminated color wheels and little balls of red, yellow, and blue play doh for the kids to mix colors and complete their color wheels.. 

Our sensory bin was filled with Rainbow Rice... 
It stayed looking like this for all of 3 seconds before it was all mixed together! ;) 

Our first craft was painting leaves with either warm colors or cool colors... 


Our second craft was using pipettes to drip liquid watercolors on photo paper and using straws to blow with color around! This project was super fun! I loved how vivid the colors turned out!
