19 Sensory Activities For Toddlers to Make Their Imaginations Run Wild

Ice is a fun activity because it's so focused on touch, which changes over the course of the activity — starting with cold and solid and ending in wet and liquid. For this activity, you'll need to do some prep work by freezing water in disposable gloves with small items inside like buttons, beads, glitter, and ribbon. Then when it's good and frozen, pop and get rid of the glove, leaving your toddler with the frozen ice they can melt with their hands to release the fun sensory items inside. Given the small parts in this one, it's best for an older toddler who knows not to put things in their mouth.
