While looking on Pinterest one day I found an interesting link for sensory bags for preschool classes. There were several fun ideas such as an ocean theme, alphabet theme, and they filled the bags with hair gel, water, and even shaving cream. We decided to try shaving cream in our bag and we used fun shapes to make stamp imprints and then the kids even had fun using their hand print in the shaving cream. This activity was really fun for those kids to had issues with getting their hands dirty.
I have a close friend who has trusted me to create several pieces for her and this was one of them. It makes me happy to have a new challenge and this was indeed one. I used a photo given to me as a reference and quilled atop a print out of it. I have the photo cut out in my pocket protector and am quilling on top of it careful not to glue the paper to the plastic. I use straight pins to hold it together until it dries. Here I’ve taken the quilled rider and horse off of the styrofoam backing and added to a background I added of layered trees. Here’s the final piece…
Love this idea. Great for toddlers.
