Jello Sensory Play For Kids { Forth Of July Theme}

My oldest son was walking around a little bored, so I decided to try and create something for him to do.  Daddy was home so I set them up with some Jello Sensory Play.  With the up coming 4th of July celebration a red, white, and blue theme was perfect for playtime.

What we used:


I got out a bucket and put bowls inside it.  One had jello, one had plastic ice cubes I found at dollar tree the day before, and whip topping.  Since our 4th of July holiday is right around the corner I went with the red, white, and blue theme.

He ( 3yr) loved the plastic ice cubes!  I should go back for more.

Checking out the jello.  He then asked for more!  We have jello cups he asked for at the store. He is not eating them so we used those for playtime.  Might as well play in it to use it up.

 Touching the jello and feeling the texture.  Perfect way to explore by touch.

 Yay, daddy got to play today.  They boys love to spend time with daddy.

 One exciting creation was made after another.  Lots of imagination at work.

 Let's make a mess!!!!

 Figuring out how to use the whip topping.

Lots of hands in and a great open ended activity for my son.

 Mashing it all up! Working on his little hand muscles.

 I think it is great that kids enjoy messy play. It is great for them to use their imaginations and explore new things!

 He is serving up his latest creation.  This is also a great way to go over colors.

 Seconds please.  And no we didn't eat any of this play food although it was safe to eat.

Hope we see you back to see our next creation!
