Drawing bags

This idea came from my sister who uses this in her classroom.

I called them drawing bags but my two year old didn't really draw with them.

I started by making some pudding. My sister used cheap hair gel in her bags so they would be see through. I didn't have any so I used pudding.

I put about 4 or 5 spoonfuls of pudding into a plastic sandwich bag. The edges can be sealed with packing tape.

My sister puts letters written on paper underneath the bags and lets her students trace the letters through the bag.

My daughter wasn't really interested in doing any tracing so I let her play with the bag.

Then I brought her another bag.

Then she asked for another one.

When she's older we'll work on the tracing thing.
