Summer Sensory Play at its Best

One of our all-time favorites is Watermelon Fizzy Sensory Science! This was an impromptu easy 3 ingredient spectacular sensory day! I definitely recommend trying it.

Epic Lego Ice Building Oh Yes!!! This fun activity comes from The Natural Homeschool where she shares this creative ice summer sensory play idea.

This Edible Neapolitan Ice Cream Dough from The Life of Jennifer Dawn looks scrumptiously delicious. Make sure your little ones know this is just for play 😉

Fun at Home with Kids shares the most amazing Rainbow Soap Foam Bubbles . Her book 150+ Screen-Free Activities for Kids is just as great, I highly suggest picking up a copy to have on hand.

Little Bins for Little Hands has this really cool Icy Ocean Sensory Play and Ice Melt . Another Fantastic idea to add to your summer bucket list.

One of the things I absolutely love about Hands On as we grow is she makes everything easy for you yet totally fun for the kids. This Nature Sensory Bag Suncatcher is lovely to look at and entertaining for the kids to play with. That makes it a total sensory play win!

If sensory bottles are more your thing click over to Happy Hooligans for this amazing Ocean in a Bottle. These Ocean discovery bottles are soooooo pretty. I’m totally adding this to our Summer science shelf.

Mama Papa Bubba takes Sand Play Dough with Loose Parts to a whole new beachy level. This had me longing for the sun to come out, so we can head to the beach and collect shells.

If rainbows are more your thing and your kids love playing with their food 😉 than these Rainbow Colored Chickpeas seriously rock! Not for eating, just for fun, but I know your kids will love them.

This summer swim over to the Mermaid’s Lagoon for a few surprises. My Small Potatoes has set up the sweetest little treasure hunt and mermaid adventure.
