About This Craft:
Sensory stuff seems to be all the rage in the mommy blogs these days, and this is a fun and mostly safe one for babies.  Just as long as baby doesn’t puncture the bag with a fork or something.  It’s an easy enough craft for a group to do; however, reinforcing the bags with tape can be a bit time-consuming, so it might be beneficial to have some tape pre-cut.  (I went ahead and reinforced 3 sides of several bags so that the caregivers only had to reinforce the one side after they were done.)  This one is a huge hit with both babies and caregivers!  A few of the adults told me that they have just as much fun playing with it as their child does!
