<\/p>\nSensory play is always such an enjoyable and wonderful way for kids to learn, explore and express themselves. This Make-A-Face Jack O\u2019Lantern Sensory Play Bag is a fun and mess free Halloween sensory play idea kids will love.<\/p>\n
Squash and squish the sensory play bag to move the Jack O\u2019Lantern\u2019s face pieces around. Can you get everything in the right place? Can you make him look silly? Can you turn his face up-side-down?
\n<\/p>\n
I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll agree about the benefits of sensory play, so while you\u2019re here why not bookmark some of our other sensory play ideas<\/a> to try later too? Here\u2019s some reader favourites.<\/p>\n To get the full instructions just click on the photo.<\/p>\n 1 \u2013 Make your Jello<\/a> according to the instructions on the pack but use a little less water so the jello sets a little more firmly than usual. Pop it in the fridge to set. 2 \u2013 When the jello is set break it up a little and put it into your Ziploc bag<\/a>. You want to fill it about half way. Don\u2019t worry about breaking the jelly right up as it\u2019s nice to leave it lumpy and the kids enjoy breaking it down more as they enjoy their Halloween sensory play. 3 \u2013 Your Jack O\u2019Lantern Sensory Play Bag is now ready for its Make-A-Face pieces. Using your black craft foam<\/a> cut out three large triangles for your pumpkin\u2019s eyes and a mouth shape. \u00a0Add the craft foam to the sensory bag and a sprinkling of glitter if you decided to use it. 4 \u2013 So your Jack O\u2019Lantern sensory play bag doesn\u2019t burst when the children use it you\u2019ll need to gently squeeze all of the air out of the Ziploc bag<\/a> before zipping it shut. I like to tape over the zip too with Duck Tape<\/a> to help prevent accidental spills. Now your Make-A-Face Jack O\u2019Lantern Sensory Play Bag is ready for little fingers to explore. \u00a0Children can squish and squash the jello around inside the bag and move the craft foam pieces to make a fun Jack O\u2019Lantern face. A mess free Halloween sensory play idea.<\/p>\n If you are using this sensory play idea with young children you might like to tape the bag onto a plastic table. If you have a light table the jello can be fun to look at on that.<\/p>\n More Fun Halloween Crafts<\/a> For Kids:<\/p>\n 3D Crow Craft for Kids (Printable Template)<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n Rocking Spider Craft (Easy Printable Template for Kids)<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n Halloween Ghost Cutting Skills Activity For Kids<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t![\"WITCH'S](\"https:\/\/kidscraftroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Witch-Potion-Halloween-Sensory-Play-square-150x150.jpg\")
