Using my Senses! (Hearing)

What you’ll need;

  • Boiled Rice
  • Rice Cereal
  • Milk or Water
  • 2 Large Bowls/ A Tray

Method

This is a baby friendly edible sensory activity so babies can learn about different sounds whilst also stimulating their sense of smell as well. Letting the baby explore with their hands with freedom knowing that everything they are touching can be safely eaten.

Spread out the Boiled Rice in 1 Bowl or a side of the Tray

Spread out the Cereal Rice in the other Bowl or the other side of the Tray

When the baby starts to play, tip a small amount of water or milk on either side of the tray in the rice and let your baby mix it all in.

Enjoy! Let your baby explore contrasting sounds such as the silence of the boiled rice but the snap, crackle and pop of the cereal rice.
