Sensory Balloons

I copied this activity using rice, lentils, mung beans and polenta. I would have liked to include either flour or corn starch, but I didn't have enough balloon pairs. Though she liked the activity very much, it was a little too easy for G; and I was interested to watch BB's fascination with not being able to use her eyes. She didn't quite grasp the squeeze and match concept, even so she really seemed to like exploring with just her sense of touch. We spent altogether five minutes on this exercise, but happily the balloons have found a second life as "people".
