I have been trying to focus more on involving Ava (9 months) in our sensory play. This can be difficult because, like most babies, she puts EVERYTHING in her mouth (as do our beagles, pictured above). So I have been searching for some things that won’t hurt her if she happens to get her messy hands into her mouth. This is indoor sand made from common pantry items. It’s simply
4 cups of flour mixed with about 1/4 cup of vegetable oil (it can be made with baby oil but then is no longer ‘edible’). The sand will have a crumbly texture, if it is still too dry just add a bit more oil.
I've done this before, but with coconut oil. It's a little more expensive, but it tastes better, which could be either better or worse!
That's a great idea! I'll have to try it, Ava will probably be happy about that 🙂
