Invite your kiddos to play and use their imagination with this awesome St. Patrick's Day Sensory tray!
It's super simple to put together if you have supplies on hand, if not, most everything can be found at the dollar store.
They can learn and explore touch with with the gems and play dough, identify colors, count coins, gems and so much more!
This sensory tray can keep your child busy for hours. We usually leave any sensory activity out for the day, and Hazel comes back to play with them over and over.
I recommend this for kiddos ages preschool and up with constant supervision. The gems are a choking hazard if you have kiddos who still like to put things in their mouth.
