I found this on Play At Home Mom's blog and LOVED it!!! (I get quite a few ideas from her) This is Daphne making the gel bags!
First we got everything together...hair gel from the Dollar Tree, food coloring, glitter, duct tape, gallon size zip lock bag, and paper towels. (It can get messy!)
Daphne put the hair gel in the zip lock bags! (Yes, she's dressed up as the fire chief.)
Then she added the food coloring!
Then the glitter! This was the best part of making it.
Finally I zipped it up, wiped off any gel that got out while I was getting rid of all of the excess air, and put the duct tape over the zipper so she didn't open it. Once I sealed it, she got to squish it all together and mix the color and glitter throughout. Now it's time to play!
She will squish it, step on it, smell it, and draw on it with her fingers. She will sit things on them to make shapes imprint in the gel and start over. There is no end to how much fun she has with these bags.
