Cherubs cous cous Sand

 

If your little one is anything like mine (puts EVERYTHING in his mouth), then sandpits are most likely out of the question for awhile.

 

This is a super fun, alternative sensory experience that will have your little using all their senses.

Oh, and it's safe and yummy to eat!

 

Age: 6months +

 

 

All you need is some cou cous.

Any brand will do and prepare as packaging suggests.

If you'd like to add a twist to this sensory experience you could add some herbs or spice like ginger, parsley or basil.

 

I made up 2 cups of dry cous cous as I wanted quite alot.

I have also done a similar experience with a smaller amount in the highchair.

 

 

Looks good enough to play with!

 

 

I left it in a bowl to start with to see what the H man would do with it.

I put it and him in a plastic tub to keep it all contained.

 

 

Oooh whats this!

Make sure your little one is clean, fresh nappy, clean hands and feet etc. I would of put him in with just a nappy on however it was just a touch cool.

 

 

Grabbing handfuls!

 

 

 

Straight in the mouth!

 

 

Sprinkle, sprinkle

 

 

Miss M wanted a play too.

 

 

Why not sprinkle it all over your little brothers head!

 

 

If you squish it you can mould it!

 

 

What is this stuck to my fingers?

 

 

I helped him stand up so he could feel it on his feet.

It was just hard to take a photo

 

 

 

Alternatives:

Play on a high chair tray with smaller amounts.

Add herbs or spices for flavour and scent.

Mix vegie puree through it and finger paint!

 

 

Have lot's of fun!

Enjoy and Play
