SENSORY GLOVES
Young children are constantly discovering the world around them. Introduce them to the sense of touch by making these great gloves. Get 5 or 6 latex gloves, your doctor's office may give you some if you ask. Fill each of them with items that reflect a different "feel". A few ideas I have used in the past are: oil, water, rice, salt, beads, beans, cotton puffs, wax paper, newspaper, flour... you get the idea. Tie a knot in the top of the glove as you would a balloon. These gloves are great to play with. They should be played with under supervision, as a small hole bitten into one could expose the child to a choking hazard. I store mine in the plastic containers, that baby wipes come in.
