Like I mentioned in my previous Sensory Play post, I have been obsessed with baby sensory play.  I saw the benefit of it and my inner-self artistic side really took over this time. I went on a search to perfecting my DIY Play Dough for Baby Ari. Finally, I found the perfect recipe and 100% totally edible.

It has been a while and in the past few weeks, I have been obsessed with finding out more about baby sensory play. Sensory play is any activity that allows babies to safely explore using any combination of their senses in creative and spontaneous ways.

In more detailed, balance senses give us information on where our head and body are in space and allows us to stay upright while we sit, stand and walk (balancing it out). Body awareness senses is more an awareness on our body parts and how they are relative to each other. In addition, it tests on our strength, example how much force to use for certain activities and how to softly handle certain items.

I started exploring all the different activities and the first item on my list is the DIY Play Doughs! Here goes my research and my first attempt on DIY Play Doughs.
