Sensory bean bag game ideas for ages 3 months and up

Exploring different textures. Your little one will initially be particularly interested in the different textures of fabric. They'll gently touch it, squeeze it, knead it, and perhaps even taste it.
Explore different fillings. The sensory bags are filled with different natural materials, so each bag feels different. The different fillings stimulate your child's sense of touch.
Lifting bags. As your baby gains strength and can lift the sensory bags, they'll notice the difference in weight.
Discover the difference in sound. Because each bag is filled with a different material, each bag also sounds different when your child shakes, throws, or drops it.
Sitting and balancing. The sensory bags are great for playing while sitting. By lifting the bean bags, your child constantly has to maintain their balance. A really fun exercise.
Encourage rolling. Does your baby like the bean bags? Then encourage them to roll with these.
Encourage crawling. When your little one starts crawling or crawling, play fun games together with the sensory bags. Toss a bag a short distance away from your child and let them crawl towards it. Fun guaranteed!
Stacking. Build a tower of bags and let your child knock it down. What fun!
Treasure basket . This is a basket filled with different items for your child to discover. Sensory bags are a great addition. Add 3-5 items made of different materials to each basket. For example: 2 sensory bags, 1 ball, 1 wooden toy, and 1 play silk. Children love exploring different materials.

How do you offer sensory bean bags to a baby?

Place the bean bags loosely on the play mat. Or put them in a basket so your child can take them out and put them back in. Once your child can open containers, put them in a container with an easy-open lid.

How do you keep the bean bags clean?

Babies love to explore everything with their mouths. That's why I fill my sensory bags with cherry and grape seeds. These seeds are water-resistant.
Hold the bag you want to clean under the tap and rinse it clean. Alternatively, you can place them in a bowl with some detergent and let them soak briefly. Then rinse well and let them dry for 48 hours. This way, you'll be sure your bags are completely dry and ready for hours of fun again.
