For the week that A was turning 2, I created this sensory bin using cloud dough, cupcake liners, sprinkles and a few birthday candles.She absolutely loved this activity and played a few times throughout the week, sometimes for over an hour. She enjoyed filling the cupcake liners, adding the sprinkles and putting the candle in.It’s also pretty fun to make the cupcakes, take them out of the liner intact and then poke your finger into it and watch it crumble slowly. This activity was so much fun and equally messy. But I was totally ok with that!For the cloud dough I used regular white flour and a few tablespoons of oil (any oil works). Add as much as you want to achieve your desired texture. I also added some pastel coloured rice and sprinkles for an extra layer of texture.
Cleaning up is part of the learning process, so make sure to encourage your child to tidy up after they finish playing. Model how to do it until your child feels confident enough to initiate the tidying up process independently.
