How to Remove the White Label on Ziploc Bags
You can remove the white label on ziplock bags using an alcohol wipe. Dip a paper towel or cotton pad in rubbing alcohol and rub off the white label on the ziplock bag. This of course is not necessary but it does create a clearer and unobstructed view through the bag of the sensory activity.
Skill Development Opportunities
Sensory bag activities are great for Colour Recognition, Language and Vocabulary Development, Hand-Eye Coordination, Fine Motor Skills, Problem Solving, Emotional Development, Trial & Error, Visual Perception, Cognitive Development, Imaginative and Sensory Play.
Age Suitability
Sensory bag activities are ideal for 12 month old babies to 4 year old preschoolers.
