A packet of flour mixed with regular canola cooking oil is the perfect mixture for sensory play. You can add glitter or food color. You could use olive oil or baby oil and add smelling oils such as vanilla or lavender.
You and Your child will enjoy hours of playing time either together or alone. You could take shapes and invite your child to fill them and together turn them upside down while saying 1..2...3... creating suspense and excitement.. and also together enjoy the shapes that are formed in the dough.
I recomended placing the mixture in a large plastic box that has a lid and can be easily moved outside to the balcony or your garden and then back inside to be stored.
you can easily sit around the box with your child.. try to make sure you are sitting opposite your child and if they move ... simply move naturally with them to remain In front of each other as this naturally encourages eye contact and social interaction.
Enjoy! it is addictive and lots of fun!
