Give chickpeas a winter makeover...
It’s no secret that dried chickpeas are one of our favourite sensory play materials! They are so satisfying to scoop and pour (for grown-ups too!) and are a bit easier to contain than rice and other grains. They also last forever to reuse over and over. You don’t have to colour them but it makes a fun change and it’s so easy to do! To colour dried chickpeas all you need is a bag or jar, a squirt of ready-mix tempera paint and a lined tray to lay them on to dry. The chickpeas dry super quick, but if you’re in a hurry you can put them in the oven on a low heat to dry out for 5 minutes. These winter style ones will be perfect for all our seasonal play. Throw in some bowls and scoops and a poppet is great fun to fill with chickpeas too! Find out more about the PlayTRAY at inspiremyplay.c

How to make Kinetic Sand.
Recipe: Ingredients • 2,5 cups of play sand (colored if you like) • 1,5 cups of cornstarch • 0,5 cup of oil (I use simple vegetable oil) • 1 TBLS of dish soap Instructions: • First mix the sand with the cornstarch (Make sure the sand is completely dry) • Now add the wet ingredients and mix well Notes • If you want your kinetic sand to be colored it is best to use colored play sand. If you add food coloring it will mostly just color your hands.
