St. Patrick’s Day sensory play activities

Any excuse for sensory play, I say! My daughters love to celebrate all the festivals through the year, and we often link our play and activities to the colour themes and symbols of the celebrations.

It’s a good way to keep your play interesting, and to ring the changes with lots of variety and new materials to explore.

So, for St. Patrick’s Day, here’s a super mix of all things green and gold.

There are ideas for all the senses, including lots of messy play to explore your sense of touch, some fun recipes to taste, and even some fizzy Leprechaun science!
