Sensory balloons are a favorite at our house. They come out quite a bit. One of the reasons he likes them so much is they're constantly changing. You can put just about anything inside and make them whatever size you want. Tonight we used very cold water (dyed all different colors), epsom salt (also dyed), water beads*, bells and an ice cube. He's never played with them in the tub before though.
*Please be careful if you use the water beads. Make sure none of them get down the drain. They can cause some issues. ;)

| The balloons filled and ready to go. |
He played with the balloons for awhile before he even got into the tub. Guessing what was inside, making music with them, squishing them. He was so excited when he realized he could take them in his tub.
And then the cutting started...He is so funny when the balloons pop. This is a great sensory activity, but it's also good color recognition and anticipation. I do trust him to be able to use scissors without hurting himself so if you try this please make sure that your child can do this safely or cut them for them.
