This Search And Find Sensory Bag is a super simple and fun, sensory activity that’s great for building many skills (fine motor, color, number & letter recognition to name a few).

Materials needed:
Note: affiliate links
- Large sealable, gallon freezer bag
- Hair conditioner (or other similar, opaque liquid). We used Suave Refreshing Conditioner in Waterfall Mist which had the prettiest blue color. We found it at our local Dollar Tree store.
- Painters tape or masking tape.
- Paper
- Markers
What to Do:
- Pour a bottle (15 oz) of conditioner into the sealable bag.
- Remove as much air as possible and seal the bag.
- Tape the bottom and top of the bag to a white surface.
- Draw shapes (we drew fish in various colors) or numbers or letters on a piece of paper. (You could also do sight words or math facts for older kids.)
- Slide the paper under the plastic bag.
- Now move your fingers around the bag to find the hidden fish, numbers or letters!
