As well as perfect for all ages, including babies and toddlers!
I saw these Halloween and fall hair gel sensory suncatchers on It’s Playtime a couple weeks ago, from Happy Hooligans. They have lots of ideas that they added to their sensory sun catchers.
What’s in the sensory bag?
Simply just hair gel.
And googly eyes.
Our hair gel just happened to be orange,
so there was no coloring needed to get our Halloween effect.
If you have clear hair gel add food coloring or paint to the bag [or two primary colors to learn about mixing!] for added fun!
Tape it on a window that gets great sunlight and you’ve created a nifty, I mean spooky sun catcher!
George absolutely loved this and felt the bag in every way he could!
Including his mouth.
Wonderful sensory goodness going on.
[Warning: be careful to not let them bite the bag... if they do, simply tape over the hole with scotch tape!]
Henry was at school while George explored the googly eye slime.
But when Henry got home, he immediately went to the window to see what it was all about.
He drove the dual wheel of his tractor through it over and over, watching the ‘tracks’ it made in the gel.
Pretty nifty SPOOKY sensory stuff!

I'm a baker's wife and a stay at home mom. Hands on : as we grow is all about the activities that I do at home with the kids [Henry, 4, and George, 1 1/2]. We're full of energy and excitement and we sneak in learning opportunities wherever we can. But most importantly, we like to have fun with all of it. [Read

Totally loved this! Shared it on my FB page.
This is great – I especially love the googly eyes
Great idea! Also sharing on Facebook
my kids would LOVE this…and they ain't toddlers anymore : ) (and I finally have an excuse to dump out my husband's hair gel, [insert evil laugh here])
Awesome! I need something special for my youngest to do… and I think the 3 year old will like it too.
My son is four and he would love this! Slime and googly eyes! Who wouldn't love that?! Thanks for sharing.
How cool, I love how translucent it is. Looks like fun!
Love these and still haven't had a sec to make them. I have pinned this and will hopefully try when I get back from my girls trip. Thanks for sharing this on my Best of October link up! You are awesome.

Cute idea!
Just love it, especially on the sliding door. Can see using it with kiddos in a class for students with severe disabilities. K.
